Answer 1

Goal of the Game  



Snooker is played with fifteen red object balls, six object balls of other colors (called colors in snooker) and a cue ball (called the white ball). The aim of snooker is to pocket the balls according to the snooker rules and to score a greater number of points than the opponent.

How to Play Snooker?

Snooker opening rules: The game of Snooker begins with the cue ball in hand in the Half Circle. The Starting player must cause the cue ball to contact a red ball. It is not necessary to send a ball to a rail or into a pocket. Failure to meet this requirement is a foul. A foul is scored and--with all fouls--the incoming player has a choice of accepting the table and becoming the striker, or requiring the offender to break again. A player who gets the right to strike has to hit one of the red ball first. Each shot has to be completed in 60 seconds, otherwise a foul is called.

snooker fouls:

Status: The next legal object is a red ball. A strike is legal when:

*The white ball is not potted.

*The white ball hits a red ball first.

* Only red balls are potted.

Otherwise the strike is a foul.

Status: The strike is on the red ball. A strike is legal when:

*If no red ball is potted then the opposing player is next.

* When a red ball is potted then the player gets as many points as the number of red balls he has potted. The striker's next legal object is a colored snooker ball.

Status: The next legal object is a color ball. A strike is legal when:

* The white ball is not potted.

*If there are still red balls on the table then one of the colored balls is hit by the white ball first.

*If there are no more red balls on the table then the colored ball with the lowest points is hit first.

*Only the ball that was hit first by the white ball is be potted.

Otherwise the strike is a foul.

Status: The strike is on the colored ball. A strike is legal when:

*If no ball is potted then the opposing player is next.



*When a colored ball is potted then the player's points increase by the point value of the potted colored ball. The striker's next legal object is a red ball. If there are no more red balls on the table, the next legal object is the ball with the lowest points.

Otherwise the strike is a foul.
