Who Invented Snooker? |
The game of snooker was invented by a Britain, Colonel Sir
Neville Chamberlain of the British Army garrisons of India.
The game is believed to have came about as a mix of other billiard
games, mainly english billiards, this new billiard sport of
snooker surfaced around 1875.
The term snooker was used as a derogatory term for the first
year recruits of the Royal Military Academy of Woolwich in England.
For many years the game was known as 'Snookers Pool' and was
played with a smaller number of balls and to very different
scoring rules than the game we know today.
It wasn't until the Early 1900's that the game evolved to the
game it is now. Played by the army officers and aristocracy
stationed in India the game grew in complexity and in its parts.
The game of snooker has pretty much stayed the same since |
