Snooker is a billiard game that was invented in the UK back in the 1870s. You will use a snooker cue, and balls of various colours. You can score points by "potting" balls or "potting them" in a designated spot. The aim is to score more than your opponents. While some players play safe, others can be more dangerous. One player might even deliberately foul another player to get out of the frame.
The rules of snooker don't require much explanation. The rules are not difficult to understand, but they can become confusing for those who don't. So, here are some basics to remember:
First, understand that there are many kinds of fouls. Most common is not hitting the ball "on". The referee will call it a foul if this happens. A foul can be committed multiple times. A legal shot, on the other hand, is one that is allowed or potted.
You should also know that snooker rules don't only concern potting the balls. If you don't play in the right order, you may lose. For instance, if you foul your opponent while on the up and down table, you will not be able to do anything useful.
Another snooker rule is that your opponent can play a foul on you. If your opponent fouls, you can choose to play a free game or to just lay snooker. Make sure that you don't foul on your next shot. If you make a foul intentionally, you will lose your frame.
There are many other rules. In snooker, you are prohibited from playing a "free" snooker ball in front or a coloured one. This is known as a double foul. Also, you should not leave all the balls on the table in front of the free ball. If you do, your opponent will be able to win the game.
You must put your cue ball into an in-off position according to snooker rules. An inoff is when the cueball enters the pocket, and hits another ball.
It is a snooker rule not to try to grab all your balls at once. This is often done to avoid the terrible game of snooker. If you do decide you want to keep your balls, make sure you do it in the right order.
Another important rule of snooker is to aim for the highest-value ball. This is important because you should have a good shot at scoring a point. However, you don’t want to miss your cueball because you didn’t have it in the right location.
The snooker rules also state that you can tally a red ball. Here are some keystrokes to help you do this. You need to either have a ball in your pocket or place a coloured ball on Centre Spot.
