Produktbeschreibung

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Professional snooker, unlike professional golf or tennis, does not operate an official system of 'Majors' or 'Grand Slam' events. The World Championship is by far the most significant snooker event of the calendar year, awarding the most prize money and ranking points, and the only other event with official superiority over the bulk of the ranking events is the United Kingdom Championship, which awards 1.5 times the ranking points of other ranking events. However, snooker has held an unofficial system which counts the World Championship, United Kingdom Championship, the Grand Prix and the Masters as 'major' titles, as the four events which have traditionally had the highest prize money, highest profile sponsors, most TV coverage, and largest field of competitors. More universally, winning the World Championship, the UK Championship and the Masters is also referred to as the 'Triple Crown' of Snooker, with these three events holding considerably more prestige than other events in the snooker year, with longer matches, more prize money, longer histories and a greater profile.
