Snooker

Oh yeah, and maybe have the female referees in high heels, mini skirts and crop tops

I've been saying that forever.
I wouldn't go as far as topless, otherwise players might get distracted.

The Polish ref isn’t bad.

I agree, she's a good referee.

Haven't been watching the snooker this year but, regarding the pocket sizes, here is an extract from Blatt Billiards.

"The standard corner pocket size on snooker tables ranges from 3 3/8 inches to 3 5/8 inches. The standard side pocket size on a snooker table is 4 1/16 inches to 4 5/16 inches."

As an ex 100 break player, I can tell you it's not the width of pockets, it's the angle that the rubbers are cut leading into the pockets, which determines the ease of entry.

Then you have the mouth variations eg the ball rattling round the jaws of the pocket before dropping in.

I used to play what we called "King Arthur" snooker - tw@t it, to send it " 'round table"

100 on the regular. Or just that “one time”

I made 127...... 100 breaks, with a maximum break of 137.

Town individual champion 6 times, over a 20 year league campaign.

Never good enough to turn Pro.

They were complaining about big pockets in 2016 and 2018. Have they changed since then?
Now't in't press?

Boringly I'd bet on Higgins.
Again.
