New Roll-Over Maximum Break Prize

New Roll-Over Maximum Break Prize19th July 2011

World Snooker has introduced a new roll-over maximum break prize for ranking events.


A £5,000 prize will be available for a televised 147 made in the final stages of all major ranking events. If a 147 is not made in an event, the prize will roll over to the next televised ranking event and will continue to accumulate until it is won.



Should more than one player achieve a 147 during a single event, the prize will be shared equally between the players.



This new system comes into operation immediately at this week's Australian Goldfields Open.



There will be an additional £500 for all Players Tour Championship events and non-televised matches in major ranking events should a maximum break be achieved and similar rules will apply as above.




WPBSA Chairman Jason Ferguson said: "It is well acknowledged that a 147 is always a special moment in our sport. A lot of players felt that the prize should be reinstated and I'm pleased that we have been able to acheive this. It's a new and exciting system for the 147 prize and could make things very interesting if it rolls over for five or six tournaments."

This is an issue that they make far too much of. I couldn't really give a monkeys how much they get paid for making a 147, I'm not the players accountant.

If you ever watch that classic 147s thing on Interactive, are you really say there going; "Hmmm, I wonder how much money he got for making this?"

the more they chase them the more likely there is to be a 147

if thats your attitude then you obviously dont give a rubbish if theres a 147 anytime, regardless of whether its 2 bob or 100 grand for making it

its a valid comparison as it will actually tell us whether the WPSBA will pay out more money using a rolling 147 prize than what they would normally

today Liang Wenbo almost made a maximum break but it was not a Televised match in a Major Ranking event so does that mean he would have got the £500 and not the £5,000 ??
