The theme: This puzzle was built to celebrate the upcoming World Snooker Championship in Sheffield, England. April 17 to May 3.

Normal Sudoku rules: Each row, column and 3x3 box must contain the digits 1-9 once only.

The colours: The 6 coloured circles represent the coloured balls on a snooker table in their opening configuration. Each contains the digit corresponding to its points value in snooker. (These are pencil marked in to avoid obscuring the letters.)

Escape paths: The two white circles in box 2 represent 2 cue balls. Each is snookered behind a ball whose colour is to be determined, represented by a grey circle. Each grey circle has a value from 2-7. Emanating from each cue ball is a green line indicating its path to escape the snooker and hit the triangle of red balls. Both green lines terminate at the white circle in box 8. Digits may not repeat along each escape path and must not include the value of the snookering ball.

Letters: The grid contains the letters of SNOOKERED and CTC, representing the digits 1-9. The value of each letter is to be determined.

Red triangle: The four digits in the red triangle must sum to 15 (ie the number of red balls on a snooker table).

Irregular sandwich rules: The letters RE and C outside the grid indicate the sum of the digits along the bottom diagonal sections of the green lines sandwiched between the 1 and 9.

Cage rules: Digits in the 6-cell cage must be different and, when read as three stacked 2-digit numbers, must sum to 147, aka a Maximum Break in snooker.
