Is there a rule in snooker that says if there is a foul on the final black then the game ends immediately.?

Question

For example I am ten points behind with just the black left. my opponent goes in-off reducing the gap to 3. Does the frame now finish without giving me a chance to overtake him?

If so then this would explain why professional players dont bother potting it if there is more than seven points between the scores?

Answer 1

No..

Answer 2

no there is no auto loss like scratching on the 8 ball   if thats how you mean it you get a d-ring shot if your be hind you still lose but not by as much  provided you make it that could be a tough shot snooker time

Answer 3

If he goes in off and the black is still on the table then you can place the white anywhere in the D as in any other in-off. If he pots the black and then goes in-off the black is replaced on its spot.

So no, a foul on the final black in snooker does not mean the game ends immediately.
