These include Don Valley Stadium, Ponds Forge and Sheffield Arena. Further venues have been added with the investment as part of the English Institute of Sport. A snooker venue and training centre is also due to be built.

"Maximum break In snooker, under normal circumstances, the maximum break is 147, also known as a maximum, a 147, or orally, a one-four-seven. This score is attained by potting all 15 with 15 for 120 points, followed by all six for a further 27 points, all in a single break i.e. without any misses. Joe Davis made the first officially recognized maximum break in a 1955 exhibition match in London. In 1982, Steve Davis achieved the first recognised maximum in professional competition, which was also the first maximum to occur during a televised match. The following year, Cliff Thorburn became"

"Century break In snooker, a century break (sometimes referred to as a ton) is a score of 100 points or more within one at the table without missing a shot and requires potting at least 25 consecutive balls. The ability to score century is regarded as a mark of the highest skill in snooker, while the first career century has been described by Ronnie O'Sullivan as the ""ultimate milestone for any snooker player"". Over 20,000 century breaks have been recorded by snooker players throughout professional tournaments. In 2014, Neil Robertson became the first person to have scored over 100 century"

Ultimate was developed in 1968 by a group of students at Columbia High School in Maplewood, New Jersey.

A break higher than 147 can be achieved when an opponent before any reds are potted, and leaves the incoming player (blocked) on all 15 reds. The player can nominate one of the other as a red, known as a """", which carries the same value as a red for just that shot.
