That is, the 2013 World Snooker Championship.

The Rocket, Ronnie is still cruising but a lot of the other contenders have been knocked out. In any case, does anyone know how I can watch BBC iPlayer coverage in the US? Basically, what softwares are out there to do this?

Random comment to boost the view-count closer to Paul Taylor greatness:

Until a few days ago I didn't even know what snooker was. If I had had to guess I would have said a card game...

Snooker is one of those sports that look really uninteresting to watch untill you get to know it abit, much like cycling i guess. Abit of chess with motorskill.

Ronnie is unbelievable!

Yup, yup! I love the fact that so much hinges on not only planning your moves, but executing them with precision at each stage. One example would be landing on the wrong side of the Blue, while trying to cannon into the pack.

And, yeah Ronnie's game at most times is sublime...but Barry Hawkins, in the Final was a fantastic competitor!

Incredible. I'd say he's pretty good at Physics and Geometry.
