Snooker is a game that is popular in mostly Britain.
The games of Snooker is credited to Colonel Sir Neville Chamberlain who developed the game in the Bristish Army Officers Mess in Jubbulpore, India, in 1875.
Originally the game featured fifteen reds, a yellow, green, pink and black (blue and brown were added later).
The word "snooker", was army slang for first year cadets.
And after Chamberlain refered to a cadet as a Snooker for missing a shot, the term was adopted as the name of this new game.
In 1882, the first rules were drafted and recorded.
It made its way to England through British billiards champion John Roberts who visites Chamberlain in 1885.
The most famous Snooker player in history is, Joe Davis OBE.
He helped organise the first snooker world championship in 1927.
He went on to win every world Snooker championship until 1946.
Modern Snooker tables derive from the Pool games originally played on English Billiards tables.
The cloth is made of 100% pure wool that is specially developed for snooker tables.
