In snooker matches , the players often go off for a comfort break .

How come the referee doesn't ?

The players drink more than the refs and it might be they are going out only for a break to re-focus or have a wee swear.

Perhaps the ref does in between frames, without you realising.

Leaning on the table to play shots could be squashing their bladder.

Of one can't go for a couple of hours without peeing one should consult a doctor.

For the players it's the equivalent of a fag break.

Hoppy - the ref doesn't lean on the table like the players do - just a quick lean to replace a ball whereas the players take time for a shot.

The players do seem to drink a lot (water or tea nowadays I assume - not like Bill Werbeniuk's 14 pints of lager or Alex's guiness/whisky). I think it's habit or a nervous reaction.
