In snooker it's possible to score a maximum 156 followin a free ball. has it ever been done. i saw kirk steven

Answer 1

Sorry, but it is 155 - as follows.

Your opponent faults on a red and a free ball is awarded. You nominate a colour, which you pot - 1 point. You then pot the black (colour follows red) - 7 points, total 8 points. You then do a clearance of 15 blacks, 15 reds, all the colours - 147 points, total 155 points.

Never been done in a tournament, although 152 has been achieved once.

Answer 2

Yeah i saw it done on ''A Question of Sport'' dont know what player did it though! but it was like 152 insted of 156!
