What is snooker? ?

Question

is it like the same thing as pool? what are the rules? how do you play?

Answer 1

its a game! that is very similar to billiards (pool)

u have a bunch of red balls! i think 10! and a black, blue, yellow, green, brown balls. each has a different score!

the goal of the game is to score high!

for every red ball u get in u get a chance at hitting a colored ball to get high score!

note that red counts as 1 pt

blue as 2

green as 3

,,, etc.

Answer 2

The table is 12 feet by 6 feet and the pockets are tighter than on a pool table. There are 15 reds worth 1 point, yellow 2pt, green3 pt, brown 4t, blue 5 pt, pink 6 pt, black 7 pt.

A foul gives four points to your opponent or 5, 6 or 7 points if the higher value colours are invovlved, eg a foul where the black is hit incurs a 7 point penalty.

A foul that leaves a player snookered, where he cannot hit both sides of an on ball or cluster, results in a free ball where any colour can be nominated to act as a red for that shot.

beggining play and after the cue ball is pocketed play begins from the D at the head string. After a foul the cue ball remains where it is, there is no ball in hand.

Pot a red then a colour then a red in alternation till all reds are cleared from the table, colours are respotted. Then pot the colours in ascending order of value, where they balls are not respotted.

15 reds with 15 blacks plus the colours in order gives a maximum score of 147(can be more with fouls and free balls).

If you don't pot anything it is then your opponents turn.

A coloured ball can only be played after a red is potted.

Answer 3

The different colored balls are worth different points and you have to get them in a certain order. All you really need to know is that if the red is blocking the pink, aim for the brown.

Answer 4

Snooker is a game similar to pool, but more popular in the UK and former British colonies. The table's a little bigger than a pool table and the pocket corners are rounded. There are 15 red balls and then 6 other colored balls. You have to alternately sink/pocket/pot a red ball and then a colored ball. Once a colored ball is sunk/pocketed/potted, it gets respotted on the table in its designated starting position unless all the red balls are gone. Once all the red balls are gone, you have to go for the colored balls in a designated sequence. The red balls are worth 1 point and the colored balls are worth 2 - 7 points, depending on the color. You get points when you sink/pocket/pot the balls. High score wins.

Answer 5

It is the same as pool but you play with different balls
