lol it has already been beaten.

The longest frame is between Harold and Dale, 94 minutes at some qualifiers 2 years ago.

Wonder if we'll ever get a 100 minute frame? Be nice if we got 35 of them in a WC Final - obviously as a result of good safety play rather than a blobfest.

Ebdon and Dott weren't far off. rofl

Seriously though, can you imagine that? The match would still be going on whilst people were getting ready for work.

pmsl

I think it'd need extra sessions.

800 minutes for the first session would take us to 2am the following morning without evening thinking about the other 27 frames.

It'd be snookers equivelant of isner v mahut.

Definitely possible. It would be a historic moment - snooker's equivalent of Bannister's 3 minute mile.

Maybe, instead of having a prize for the highest break, they should have a prize for the longest frame of a tournament.

I can imagine Clive Everton now: "And if this frame lasts another 5 minutes, Ebdon will be presented with the keys to a brand new Aston Martin".

That's the last thing we need. Ebdon trying to play more slowly than normal.

Random thought #294... do frame times include unscheduled breaks, e.g. for tip repair or streaker interruption? Or is the clock stopped?

Such things are rare, granted, but I figure a 100+ min frame would be guaranteed if Ebdon played Harold and Dave's tip pinged off midway through a frame.

Then a streaker ran on. Then someone collapsed in the audience.

Next time you're at the snooker, do a streak and you'll find out.
