===Snooker=== {{update|snooker|date=December 2014}} At the [[2007 World Snooker Championship]], the [[BBC]] used Hawk-Eye for the first time in its television coverage to show player views, particularly of potential snookers.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/pressreleases/stories/2007/04_april/04/snooker.shtml |title=Press Office β BBC Sport to feature Hawk-eye in World Snooker Championship coverage |publisher=BBC |access-date=1 June 2009}}</ref> It has also been used to demonstrate intended shots by players when the actual shot has gone awry. It is now used by the BBC at every World Championship, as well as some other major tournaments. The BBC used to use the system sporadically, for instance in the 2009 Masters at Wembley the Hawk-Eye was at most used once or twice per frame.{{Citation needed|date=April 2012}} Its usage has decreased significantly and is now only used within the World Championships and very rarely in any other tournament on the snooker tour. In contrast to tennis, Hawk-Eye is never used in snooker to assist referees' decisions and primarily used to assist viewers in showing what the player is facing.
