Welcome to Maximum Snooker!

It's the final day of action at the 12BET.com UK Championship in Telford and it has come down to the final match which went all the way to the final frame and brown ball. The winner was the resurgent John Higgins who beat Mark Williams in what was one of the best matches I have ever seen.

It's the fourth day of action in Telford at the UK Championship and one of the men through to the quarter finals is Northern Ireland's Mark Allen who beat defending champion Ding Junhui. 

It's the second and third day of play at the 12BET.com UK Championship in Telford and there wasn't many surprises on the second day but on the third day we had two shocks. The biggest of which was The Rocket Ronnie O'Sullivan loosing to World No.23 Stuart Bingham.

Finally it has arrived! It's been nearly two months but at last we have a proper Snooker ranking event back on our TV screens, the 12BET.com UK Championship. I have the privilege of attending in person this weekend so expect some more exclusive videos and photos. Defending champion Ding Junhui was up first today to defend his title.

Tomorrow sees the start of the first proper Snooker ranking event in near two months, the 12BET.com UK Championship at the International Centre. Hundreds of fans will be gathering in Telford to watch the stars in action and see who will take the crown this year. Will defending champion Ding Junhui be able to defend his title?

The current board of the World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association (WPBSA) has been given a vote of confidence by the voting players at it's AGM in Sheffield today. Amongst those staying on the board is player representative Steve Davis.

It's the 8th and final day of competition in the 12BET.com UK Championship qualifiers and we found out who would complete the final line-up at the International Centre, Telford. The most popular player through has to be Jimmy White who stormed past Joe Perry. Also through was the Darling Of Dublin, Ken Doherty.

It's the penultimate day of action in the 12BET.com UK Championship qualifiers and as the temperature drops the heat of competition rises. Today saw six players qualify for the televised stages in Telford, two were Pinner potter Martin Gould and EPTC4 winner Stephen Lee.

It's day six of the 12BET.com UK Championship qualifiers in Sheffield and the atmosphere is tense as the event is reaching it's pinnacle. Two happy chaps who have made it through are Mark Joyce and Jimmy White.

A new addition to MaximumSnooker.com today is the PTC (Players Tour Championship) page with a winners gallery.
