Clarke, S.R., Norman, J.M. and Stride, C.B. orcid.org/0000-0001-9960-2869 (2009) Criteria for a tournament: the World Professional Snooker Championship. Journal of the Operational Research Society, 60 (12). pp. 1670-1673. ISSN 0160-5682
Abstract
Desirable qualities of a tournament are fairness (the better the player, the better his chance of success), balance (few one-sided matches) and efficiency (long enough to benefit the more skillful yet being completed within schedule). The World Professional Snooker Championship is examined to see how well it meets these criteria.
