...or red, yellow, red, green, red

Value of run - 8points.

Answer 2

Here's the points system for snooker :

Red - 1 point

Yellow - 2 points

Green - 3 points

Brown - 4 points

Blue - 5 points

Pink - 6 points

Black - 7 points

In a game of snooker u need to pot a red ball before you pot a colour ball then back to red n colour ball again until u miss potting a ball then points r then added up. i.e 5 balls potted n total of 8 points = Red (1) Yellow (2) Red (1) Green (3) Red (1) . if u added the points in the bracket it equates to 8 points. I hope this is very clear. Good luck n I hope u understand the scoring system a little better now.
