Billiards is considered a man's game, so the appearance of the lovely women in the professional sphere is always associated with increased interest on the part of the audience. This was the invitation plaid Michaela Tabb in 2001 to work as a referee on the official tournaments of the World snooker Association.
The interest of the international community to Michaela Tabb was manifested not in vain. Born in England on 11 December 1967 at the age of 23 she has already made in the professional arena of Billiards, taking part in the tournament for the top eight. The following year, 1992, Michaela Tabb made team and his native Scotland in Billiards and played her part as captain until 2003. Later in 1996, the team joined by her sister, Juliette Tabb. In addition to performances for the national team's singles final was also brought success to Tabb. Michaela took the first position at the British Championships in 1997 and the European tournament for women in 1998. It is believed that Michaela Tabb is better of all the female referee acted at competitions in snooker and pool and was one of the best in the overall judicial environment.
Michaela says that in Billiards it was drawn by one of her Boyfriends, and the pool is so much a part of her life that she decided to associate with him further his career. At the time she had studied science and sociology at the University of Glasgow but did not graduate, preferring to give their all playing in the pool. No wonder that husband Micaela also plays professional Billiards and known among the global pool. Thanks to his support she began her career judge of the tournament, shone on TV and even fought for their rights in court. The family occupies an important role in the life of a star of the pool, she has two sons: Morgan and Preston, 1997 and 2007 year of birth respectively.

As a referee Michaela began to appear on their own tournaments organized jointly with her husband to promote Billiards in the 90-ies. It was Amateur tournaments in the eight and nine (varieties of pool) under the auspices of the World Association of Billiards. In 1997, Michael became a judge of professional matches at the tournament of St. Andrew, and in 1998 was first lit on TV during the broadcast. Thanks to the professionalism and good knowledge of the game, she won the respect of the players asked her to judge the world pool tournaments among professionals.
Spectacular appearance played into the hands of Michaela: it was noticed by the then head of the World Snooker Association Jim MacKenzie. Halo dry and a nondescript man in the environment of the referee of snooker required dilution and glamour to attract the attention of the audience, and approached for this role Tabb. Michaela bypassed the traditional learning rule for 5 years, after a crash course to referee snooker. Upon completion of training, in 2001 MNPCIL Tabb received the status of a professional snooker referee 3 class. Of course, the rapid introduction Mikaely the circle of the elect has not left indifferent the colleagues and the leadership of the World Association of snooker. This did not prevent Mikael, and in early 2002, she first performed as a professional snooker referee at the open championship of Wales in Cardiff. Career referee of snooker Michaely not be called cloudless, the contract was suspended in the summer of 2003. Guide explained its decision by the absence of funding, and later, in the early autumn of the same year, Tabb has received a new contract. Billiards has always been considered a club game for close and closed communities, so we can only guess what was happening in the world of snooker these years and how hard this has been one of the first women in the environment that used to be exclusively male. However, Michaela Tabb won the popularity of the players and the audience and her career gradually sought to develop. In 2008, she became the first female referee, which was assigned to judge the final of the world tournament. In that match, Andrew Higginson slightly lost to Neil Robertson.
Quite scandalously Tabb concluded his 14-year career. Around her care was a lot of rumors, no wonder she was considered to be a respected judge and was popular with viewers. According to the official Michaela Tabb, the disqualification which was discussed as one of the options, she resigned due to the unfair distribution of awards among judges, and filed in court on the World snooker Association, accusing the former employer of bias and sexism. Of course, the Association could not prevent the publicity of the details of the case, and on the second of eight hearings had concluded a confidentiality agreement. This does not detract from the contribution of Michaela in the world of snooker, as officially with gratitude written on the Association's website.
Michaela Tabb, snooker referee, quite painfully through my retirement from snooker. Onthe moment she does family and judging matches, regional competitions in the pool.
