Mark Selby fears for grassroots snooker and wants to help save it. UK champion Selby is worried snooker halls are closing down for good in the UK. He said: “Snooker seems to be as high as its ever been on the professional level. Grassroots seems to be the other way." #snooker […]

Currently @snookerbot and @amateursnooker are not updating -> there is an issue currently being worked on with snooker.org I will let you know when it is back! @edenGD02 @charly22

Welcome to @Sebblau5 on this instance, which welcomes #snooker fans! Of course :D :on_fire:

As a French speaker, I'm rather troubled by the brand name of Stephen Hendry's Cue Tips merch store. I mean, it's fine, but has very little to do with snooker. #oohhlala #snooker #hendry

Jamie Clarke (Wal) advances one spot to lead the Q Tour rankings after winning Event 5. Runner-up Stuart Carrington (Eng) improves four steps and is up to No.4. Former leader Peter Lines (Eng) sits in second followed by Hammad Miah (Eng). www.snooker.org/res/index.as... #snooker #QTour

A nice quarter final lineup for the #UKChampionship with no remaining class of 92 players. Shaun survived a good battle with John Higgins ; Barry Hawkins whitewashed Slessor in his previous match ; Pang has been quietly playing well and beat Willo ; Ding beat […] [Original post on snooker.uk.to]

Schade, das Artemijs Žižins es nicht geschafft hat. Aber David Lilley hat es nach drei Anläufen vielleicht auch verdient und er hat sich anschließend so gefreut. Wie Kollege @bertvanburgh.bsky.social das Spiel gesehen hat, hat er euch aufgeschrieben. #Snooker #147sf snookerpro.de/artikel/kein...

UPDATE: Here is an overview of frames per maximum for the last few seasons on the Main Tour. So far this season there have been 16 maximums in 8,624 frames. That's one maximum per 539 frames. If this rate continues there will be appr 31 maximums this season. #snooker #WeLoveSnooker

Yesterday, for the fifth time in snooker history, a player (Chang Bingyu) scored a 147 and 2+ centuries but lost the match (5-6, to Maguire). The others: 2012 Wuxi F: BINGHAM 4-10 Walden 2022 WC R16: ROBERTSON 12-13 Lisowski 2023 WC F: SELBY 15-18 Brecel 2025 WC R16: ALLEN 6-13 Wakelin #147sf

Judd Trump gave a blunt assessment of his game just moments after losing the Champion of Champions final. MC Rob Walker told Trump there were "positives" despite his loss to Mark Selby. But Trump replied: "Not really. No. There's no positives." #snooker Pic: ITV… […]

Moziila didn’t have the ressource to keep a "subscribe to RSS" button in Firefox but has the manpower to build a full IA inside your browser. And that’s all you need to know about the end of the web and the IA bubble.

I finally have my own cloud stack ready for wider testing. I now have: - Nextcloud - Nextcloud talk with HPB (for better multi-user calls) - Nextcloud office with separate Collabora CODE server (better performance) - Mastodon instance - Google-free email - Google-free calendar (Nextcloud) - […]

The next time someone tells you that America isn’t a sick & racist country, just remind them that this nation is willing to accept treason, rape, and child abuse from a white president but not healthcare from a Black one.

RE: https://snooker.uk.to/@snookerbot/115539345517295566 Was rather hoping to see Willo go all the way in this tournament. He played some wonderful shots but a couple of misses (including a red to the middle to win a frame) kept Selby in the game. Perhaps tiredness towards the end killed his […]

Holy Shit, #valve did a product launch in 2025 and did not mention AI a single fucking time. So refreshing.

Today snooker.uk.to upgraded to the latest version of Mastodon: 4.5.0 Upgrade went without a hitch with barely any downtime. I am glad that quoting options can be set per post and with a default settable on a per user basis. #fediadmin #quotepost

Judd Trump remains searching for his first trophy of the season after defeat today. The world-number-one led 4-0 before Wu Yize won six frames in a row to reach the International Championship QFs. NI Open winner Jack Lisowski is also out, losing to Barry Hawkins 6-4. #snooker […]

Wonderful 145 total clearance from Bai Yulu, record breaking certainly, but also a sign of the very narrow gap between the top women and the overall pro tour. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARY3T2fidbU Her cueing is exquisite, the management of shot power and overall cueball control is top […]

Bai Yulu gewinnt die Niche Cues Women’s Snooker Open mit 5-1 gegen Ng On Yee. Und es ist sehr beschämend, dass sie ein Preisgeld von „nur“ £ 6.000 erhält. Selbst bei der Q Tour gibt’s mehr finanzielle Anerkennung. #147sf #snooker #WeLoveSnooker #WomensSnooker

Murphy is spot on, the money system is a farce, if you win the Saudi you can basically take the rest of the season and also stay No1 ala Judd who is nowhere near the best player and hasn't been for months. Go back to a proper points system that reflects reality! #BSkySnooker #Snooker #WeLoveSnooker

@snookerorg.bsky.social hi, it seems the API is down right now. Let me know if I can help test anything.

Amazing match by Shaun Murphy in the Xi’an Grand Prix. 516 points to 6! snooker.org/event/2338 #snooker

And yet another 147. This time by Aaron Hill in the Xi’an Grand Prix. It happened in frame 2 against Huang Jiaho. It was the second of his career (both this season) and the 230th in pro snooker. It was also the 13th (!) of the season. snooker.org/event/2338 #snooker #WeLoveSnooker

Finally found a deal - thanks to the company also hosting the server this Mastodon runs on (Hetzner) - for reasonably priced simple file storage. So I now have been able to create extra private space to finally have my good old digital music collection available from anywhere. Simple recipe […]

I’ve made a lot of changes on the server. Hopefully this will lead to a more stable site going forward.

Stephen Maguire wins the Championship League and takes home £33K, about as much as you might get for winning a quarter final in the upcoming Wuhan Open. #snooker

I've just updated this instance (snooker.uk.to) to Mastodon 4.4.1.
