In Tennis, to avoid long toilet breaks, they now are starting to clock the time players take.
Should the same start happening in Snooker?
Nobody?

is it just collecting data? wouldn't hurt. similar to publishing average shot times suppose.
can't say i've noticed a problem with frequent excessive snake hiss breaks in the snooker. def not as much as the gamesmanship in tennis.

There’s nothing there to judge the scale. Could be 10mm or 10 inches. Somewhere in between?

Name the sample?
Your woman is the song I think anyway back in 1997 but I forgot the name of the artist :(
Correct
White Town was the artist
The string sample in the White Town song is from Al Bowly's 'My Woman' from 1932.
Jyoti Mishra (White Town) sampled the record not from the source, but its appearance in
Pennies from Heaven.
I think Dua Lipa (or her producer anyway) sampled direct from the White Town record.
So that's three levels of degradation on that sample!
Still, sounds good.

Now that's how you steal a frame! King trails 4-3, could that maybe be a turning point?

Ah, a fellow expert in the art of obscuring size and scale.
