 Snooker
General Rules

Snooker is a cue sport that is played on a baize-covered table with pockets in each of the four
corners and in the middle of each of the long side cushions. It is played using a cue and
snooker balls: one white cue ball, 10 red balls worth one point each (can also be played with
fewer red balls, often 10), and six balls of different colours: yellow (2 points), green (3), brown
(4), blue (5), pink (6), black (7). A player (or team) wins a frame (individual game) of snooker by
scoring more points than the opponent , using the cue ball to pot the red and coloured balls. A
player (or team) wins a match when they have achieved the best-of score from a predetermined
number of frames. The number of frames is always odd so as to prevent a tie.
Common fouls:
● potting the white (in-off)
● hitting a ball other than the white with the cue
● making a ball land off the table
● touching the cue ball with anything other than the tip of the cue (except while positioning
the cue ball "in-hand"; while "in-hand" the cue ball may be touched by anything except
the tip of the cue)
● playing a "push shot" - a shot where the cue ball is in simultaneous contact with the cue
tip and another ball (except when playing the cue ball away from a "touching ball"; for
this purpose a "touching ball" may refer to any ball, "on" or not.). You can just release
the cue ball away from the ball, it doesn't matter if the cue ball doesn't touch any other
ball.
● playing a "jump shot" - a shot where the cue ball leaves the bed of the table and jumps
over a ball before first hitting another ball
● Playing a shot with both feet off the ground.
There are three less common ways to end a frame:
● A foul on the black, when the black is the only ball left. It is sometimes wrongly assumed
that play continues after a foul on the black if there are fewer than seven points between
the scores. This is not the case: the player who is in the lead following the assessment of
a penalty after a foul when only the black remains is the winner.
● Failure to hit a ball "on" three times in a row, if the player has a clear sight of the ball.
The referee will warn a player after a second such miss that a third miss will mean that
the opponent will be awarded the frame. This rule does not apply if the player is
snookered. As missing due to avoiding a direct shot on a ball is usually a tactical, rather
than skill-related, outcome, this rule is rarely invoked, as a player will simply hit the ball
directly on the third shot.
● If the score is tied after the final black is potted, the black is "respotted" and the cue ball
put "in hand". The referee will then toss a coin, with the player winning the toss choosing
who will take the first strike at the black. Play then continues normally until the black is
potted or another frame-ending situation occurs.

● Interchange of players between the two teams will lead to serious consequences and in
that case the decision of the organizing team will be final.
● Use of abusive foul language during the play can lead to technical fouls or expulsion
depending on the organization team.
● Teams must arrive 20 minutes before the scheduled start time.
● Walkovers will be given to a team if the opposing team is not able to reach the ground
within 15 minutes of the scheduled time.
● The age limit is 24.
