The 1991 World Snooker Championship (also referred to as the 1991 Embassy World Snooker Championship for the purposes of sponsorship) was a professional ranking snooker tournament that took place between 20 April and 6 May 1991 at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield, England.


Stephen Hendry was the defending champion, but he lost in quarter finals and fell to the Crucible curse, becoming another champion who was unable to defend his first world title.


John Parrott won his only World Championship title by defeating Jimmy White 18–11 in the final. It was the third time that White had lost in the final after 1984 and 1990.[1][2] The tournament was sponsored by cigarette manufacturer Embassy.


The highest break of the tournament was 140, made by Jimmy White.

  • Future three-time semi-finalist Alan McManus also made his debut this year. McManus reached the second round where he narrowly lost 12–13 to Terry Griffiths.


  • Cliff Thorburn failed to qualify for the first time after playing in every championship since 1973.[5]

Run scheduled task as local user group (not BUILTIN)

Image
0 I am trying to run a scheduled task with User Group (not a single user). This is working fine when I in the field "when running a task, use the following user account:" insert BUILTIN User Group (for example: Administrators or Users). But when I try it with the created Local User Group (example: TestGroup) it is not working. The Users in the TestGroup are the same as in the Administrators group. What could be the problem? Are there some restrictions to the Created User Group compared to BUILTINUsers? scheduled-tasks taskscheduler windowstaskschedule share | improve this question asked Nov 15 '18 at 15:36 Far...
