Talk:World Matchplay (snooker)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It is confusing to list th World Matchplay of the 1950s with the latter tournament. As far as most commentators (such as Clive Everton) and players are concerned the World Matchplay held from 1952 was the world championship. The so-called world championship held in 1952 and won by Hoarce Lindrum is not legitimiate.

The so-called 1952 world championship is officially recognised by the WPBSA, snooker's governing body. The players may take a different view but that doesn't alter the facts. The article is about the history of the tournament and accordingly documents its different incarnations in the different eras. The article clearly states that the 1950's incarnation was established as an 'alternative' world championship.
