It's World Snooker and the Head of referees that decides which refs go to the events, we can sometimes put our name forward and say we're available, but its up to them to decide. The same goes for the matches, usually it's the tournament director and the referee's assessor that decides who refs which matches.

Is it true, as a snooker ref, you can sleep your way to the top?
And do you know of anyone who has ever done this?

It's 'the Head of referees that decides'.
So you're right
