Sheffield is currently bustling with its largest annual event: the World Snooker Championship. It rates up there with the World Series in terms of how world-wide it actually is though. Almost all of the snooker players in the tournament are British, with a couple Irish, one Australian, and two Chinese players thrown in. Snooker is a bit like pool, but with a small table and different rules. The balls are different colors as well. They have set up lots of signs and made a small snooker village near where I work. The snooker championship slogan is strangely reminiscent of Highlander "There can be only one." I keep waiting for a player, upon winning, to smack off the other guy's head with a pool cue and absorb his snooker skill. Not sure that will actually happen though.
