There are hundreds of snooker tournaments held across the world at both amateur and professional levels. There have been complaints over the last few years by some of the top professional snooker players such as Steve Davis, Ronnie O’Sullivan and Mark Allen that there are too many professional snooker competitions being scheduled which is causing player burnout.<\/p>\n Some of the top snooker competitions include the Australian Open, Shanghai Masters and the World Snooker Championship. Snooker has become very popular over the last decade due to the amount of television coverage of these top events. There are a number of different variants of snooker such as power snooker, ten-red snooker, volunteer snooker, six-red snooker, snooker pool and snooker plus.<\/p>\n Canadians not only love playing snooker but also wagering on different snooker tournaments and backing the players they love to follow.
