“Each game will be played under World Snooker rules and regulations but with the introduction of an innovative new concept, a 23rd ball known as the Riyadh Season ball. This gold ball will be worth 20 points and can only be potted once all other balls have been successfully cleared from the table if a player is on a maximum break to make it 167.”

On the plus side, Pink’s going to be spoiled for Think Pink sponsors.

Part of me feels like it's only a matter of time before the Saudis take over snooker, like they're taking over golf...

As long as the players have the chance to split or steal on the golden ball.

At the end of each match, they should have to the two players decide whether they want to Split or Share the Prize Money.
Is Jasper Carrott available?

As long as it's not a ranking event.

Won't the fact that there's a gold ball at the end worth 20 points make a lot of the frames really rubbish? If you're contesting a close frame, it'll lose any excitement knowing all that really matters is who pots the last ball. Also, if you've scored a century, you've won anyway, so the gold ball becomes irrelevant.
