  1. In snooker you have to pot one red then any color (the black is the best bcz then you get 7 points. Then every color you pot (besides red) must get back on its spot. When there is no reds then you begin to pot the other colors in this order: yellow (2 points) green (3 p) brown (4p) blue (5p) pink (6p) and finally black (7p)...the highest score you can get is 147 if you pot red black red black and so on.

    In billiards you have two kinds. Stripes and Solid...the first player who pots lets say stripes has to continue dropping stripes. the other player takes solid. DON"T POT THE BLACK AS USUAL. if you do you lose the game. Only when you are finished with your (stripes or solids) you try to pot the black but before you do you have to say in which pocket you will drop it. if you drop it  in another pocket you lose. If you pot the white ball and the black ball you lose. That was long


  2. Ok, all three games are played with a cue and balls.

    In pool you would normally have 15 balls (7 reds or "spots", 7 yellows or "stripes" and a black ball). Players win by pocketing all of their balls and then the balck first. If you are playing American pool (9-ball) there are 9 balls, numbered 1 through 9 and they need to be pocketed in order. The player wins by pocketed the 9 ball.

    In snooker, you have 15 reds, and 6 colours (yellow, green, brown, blue, pink and black). The reds are worth 1 point and the colours are worth 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 points in the order above. Players have to pocket a red and then a colour until the table is cleared and the winner is the player with the most points.

    Billiards (I'm not 100% sure about ) but I believe it has a white ball and 2 reds. Points are awarded for hits (as opposed to pocketing balls) so if you strike the cueball and you hit 1 red and then another you get more points.

    There are loads of extra rules surrounding these but you can find them online.

  3. SNOOKER IS PLAYED IN EUROPE WITH COLORED BALLS AS THE MONEY BALLS WITH DIFFERENT POINT VALUES AND THE REST COUNT AS 1 POINT PER BALL.

    PLUS THE TABLE IS ALWAYS 5FT X 10 FT.

    BILLIARDS IS PLAYED WITH 4 BALLS 3 CUE BALLS AND

    RED BALL. THE OBJECT IS TO HIT 1 CUE  BALLAT THE OTHER CUEBALLS,THE CUEBALL U HIT FIRST ISTHE  CUEBALL  THAT HAS TO HIT 3 DIFFERENT RAILS B4 IT HITS THE REDBALL. U CAN HIT THE OTHER CUEBALLS 2 BUT AFTER IT HITS 1 CUEBALL IT HAS TO TOUCH 3 RAILS TO COUNT HITTING THE OTHER BALLS DOESN'Y MATTER AS LONG AS THAT ORIGINAL CUE BALL HITS 3 RAILS AFTER THE INITIAL HIT

    EVERY SHOT HAS TO HIT 3 RAILS EVERY TIME YOU HIT

    THE FIRST CUEBALL,THEN THAT CUEBALL IS THE ONLY CUEBALL YOU HIT FIRST FOR THE TIME YOUR AT THE  TABLE  ONCE YOU MISS AND IT'S YOUR TURN AGAIN ANY CUEBALL IS YOUR BALL TO HIT  FIRST

    THAT'S IT GOOD LUCK

    BALL YOU HIT FIRST,
