Also, I've received a lot of requests to re-post all game rules again. There are 15 solid red balls each with a value of 1 point. It is wise to use a break similar to that used in 14.1 straight pool. Think of snooker as a game whereby sinking a red ball earns the player an opportunity to go after one of the colored balls. After pocketing a red ball, the player may shoot at his choice of colored balls.
All red balls stay down, but the colored balls are respotted immediately after being pocketed.
Play continues this way until there are no red balls remaining on the table. When all of the red balls have cleared from the table, the remaining colored balls are pocketed in ascending order from where the cue and object balls lie. A player is awarded one point for each red pocketed, and the numerical value of each colored ball pocketed after his turn at the table is ended by a miss. In order to enjoy the game, it will be necessary to get the complete and official rules. The above is only offered to give readers who are unfamiliar with the game a brief overview.
