The World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association (WPBSA) recently conducted its largest-ever refereeing course at the Northern Snooker Centre in Leeds, England. The event, held on Thursday, attracted 45 aspiring referees looking to enhance their skills and potentially join the ranks of professional snooker officials.

The course provided participants with comprehensive training on the rules of the game, match management, and the responsibilities of a referee. Experienced officials and WPBSA representatives led the sessions, ensuring that attendees received high-quality instruction tailored to the standards of professional snooker.

Participants engaged in both theoretical and practical sessions, covering key aspects of officiating, including decision-making under pressure and handling match situations. The course aimed to strengthen the pool of qualified referees available for future tournaments and events, contributing to the ongoing development of the sport.
