Question

In snooker, a player has potted a red, and on the next shot plays for a red, and pots it too. What is the outcome?

Answer 1

7 pt penalty for INTENTIONALLY potting the red.

Keyword: intentional...

Answer 2

the other answers are all wrong!

player will score 1 point for first red,he must then go for a colour,if he goes for another red it is a foul whether he pots it or not and he will be penalised 4 points not 7.

you can only be penalised more than 4points for any foul shot if you first hit,or accidentally pot a colour higher in value than the brown.

blue 5 points

pink 6 points

black 7 points.

so the only way to be penalised 7 points in your senario would be if he potted the second red and then also knocked the black in in the same shot!

Answer 3

The player scores one for making the red and loses seven for intentionally hitting a second red in a row (foul). So, he loses 6 points altogether. and his turn. His opponent can make him shoot again if he wants to ...from where the white rests.

Answer 4

What the heck is snooker?  Hey mates greetings from America.

Answer 5

scores 1 point for potting first red

scores -7 point (foul) for shooting red again, instead of colour

*Rule 12d-iii

(12d) A penalty of seven points is incurred if the striker:

(iii) plays at Reds, or a free ball followed by a Red, in successive strokes,

Turn ends, net minus 6 points.

Opponent can play or, make you shoot again.

****I can't imagine anyone having played 25 years and not yet know the rules.

Answer 6

it is a foul and a lose of 7 points.  after sinking a red a player must have a legal hit on a numbered/colored ball.

PS: andy, is correct about the amount of lost points.  here in the states, the majority of the people that i play snooker with in the south (which there are not a lot of snooker tables around to begin with) just play the cart blanc 7 points for every foul rule.
