Everything about World Snooker Championship 1927 totally explained

The 1927 World Snooker Championship was the inaugural World Championship and was organised by the snooker player Joe Davis, who also won the title and went on to dominate this event until after the Second World War. It was hosted at Thurston's Hall, and ten people participated in it. The highest break of the tournament was 60, made by Albert Cope, which today would be considered very modest.

Prize Money

The entry fee was five guineas per player with a five guineas sidestake. The entry fees were split between the prize fund and the Billiards Association and Control Council (BA & CC) who used their part of the fees towards purchasing the trophy which cost £19.
Joe Davis, the eventual champion, won the £6 10 shillings, roughly equivalent to £280 today.
