Referee Michaela Tabb became the first female to officiate a World Championship final

Snooker's highest profile female referee Michaela Tabb has left her position on the World Snooker circuit.

Having been fast-tracked by World Snooker, she became the first woman to referee in a ranking tournament at the 2002 Welsh Open.

Previously, she played on the eight-ball pool circuit, and also captained the Scottish ladies' pool team.
