Pot Black was a British series of snooker tournaments televised by BBC, which didn't carry any ranking points, but played a large part in the popularization of the modern game, from 1969 to 1986. The event was revived in the form of several one-off tournaments throughout the 1990s and up to 2007. Pot Black helped transform snooker from a minority sport with just a handful of professionals into one of the most popular sports in the United Kingdom. Mark Williams holds the event's highest break record of 119.
