Explain the miss rule in snooker. does 3 mean u forfeit the frame?

Question

is it only if u can c the white

Answer 1

is this american snooker or european...if american  as odd as this will sound you can remove the ball if you cant see your object ball...you wont get the points but the oppent wont get the foul points either...never heard of frame & I think I will look at the  rules again...

Answer 2

the referee will call a miss if the player makes a foul and the referee thinks there were easier shots available to the player than the one which he played.  e.g. if the player fouls while snookered and trying to get out of the snooker while leaving the white ball in a safe place, the referee will call a miss.  if the player fouls and the referee thinks the player was only trying to hit the object ball and wasn't thinking about where the cue ball went, the referee won't call a miss.

as for the three miss and you forfeit the frame rule, that only applies if the player could make a direct hit on both sides of the ball he is trying to hit (or on any other legal ball on the table).  if he's completely or part snookered, the three miss rule doesn't apply.

Answer 3

John Higgins had 13 "misses" in a row last week so no , there are certain rules that apply to the " 3 misses and you are out "

Answer 4

it     all   depends    how   much    you    are     snookerd

Answer 5

you will lose the frame if you miss a red from a position in which you are not snookered (behind a colour so you cant see all of the red) 3 times in a row. the first high profile person to do this in a competitive match was also one of the greatist snooker players of all time. dennis taylor

Answer 6

You can have as many misses as you like.  You're opponent will gain 4 points for each miss so at some point you're opponent will automatically win but not from just 3.

Answer 7

You will always be able to see the white! The "3 miss rule" applies if you can see the red/colour. If you are totally snookered and can't see the red/colour then you can keep on missing forever.
