Snooker plus

Snooker plus was a variant of snooker created by Joe Davis in 1959 with two additional {{Cuegloss|Colour ball|colours}}, orange (8 points) and purple (10 points). The orange spot was midway between the pink and blue, while the purple spot was midway between the brown and blue. If a frame ended in a tie, the purple was re-spotted on the black spot. The extra colours allowed a maximum break of 210.[1][2][2] This variant failed to gain popularity but has appeared in some video games such as the World Snooker Championship series.[3]

Format

There were three competitors, Joe Davis, Fred Davis and John Pulman, competing for prize money of £750. Matches were of 25 frames over 2 days. Each played the other, three times. All matches were played in Burroughes Hall, London.
