YAMAHA ORGANS TROPHY
Much loved and much missed; an innovative and convoluted round-robin group system is what the modern game is crying out for

Two frame lead is really only one.
Apparently.
Though I’m pretty sure it’s not; it’s clearly two. Surely.
Bit like the proverbial ‘six-pointer’ in football; never more than three on the line, all the rest is hyperbole.

Correct! We have Eddie Charlton to thank for this one, according to my Book of Snooker and Billiards Quotations.
