Each ball has a point value in snooker, and players earn points by potting balls. Here are the point values for each ball: Red ball: 1 point Yellow ball: 2 points Green ball: 3 points Brown ball: 4 points Blue ball: 5 points Pink ball: 6 points Black ball: 7 points During a snooker game, the player who pots the most balls earns the most points. The game’s purpose is to score more points than the opponent to win. In a typical frame of snooker, the first player to reach a total of 147 points achieves a “maximum break,” considered the highest possible achievement in snooker. However, a maximum break is rare and difficult to achieve, even for professional players.
