Snooker is a type of billiard game that originated in the UK in the 1870s. You will use a snooker cue, and balls of various colours. The goal is to score points by "potting" or "potting", balls in designated spots. The aim is to score more than your opponents. While some players will play safe, others are more risky. To snooker their opponent out of the frame, one player could even intentionally foul them.
The rules of snooker are simple. The rules are not difficult to understand, but they can become confusing for those who don't. These are the basics you should know:
First, understand that there are many kinds of fouls. The most common of these is failing to hit "on" the ball in the first place. When this occurs, the referee calls a foul. Fouls can be committed more than once per game. A legal shot, however, is a shot which is potted or allowed to be completed.
It is important to understand that snooker rules go beyond potting balls. You have to play in the correct order, or you can lose. You will lose if your opponent fouls you while you are on the up or down table.
Another rule of snooker states that your opponent can play foul on you. You have two options: you can play a free or lay snooker if your opponent fouls. But you must take care that your next shot is not a foul. You can lose your frame if a foul is committed.
There are many other rules. You should not play a "free ball" in front of a colored ball. This is known as a double foul. It is important to not leave any of the balls on your table in front the free ball. A game won't be won if the opponent has all the balls on the table.
The snooker rules even mention that you need to put the cue ball in an in-off position. In-off refers to a situation where the cue ball enters the pocket and hits another one.
You should also remember that it is against snooker rules to try and take all your balls at once. This is often done to avoid the terrible game of snooker. You must order your money correctly if you decide to take all your balls.
One other snooker rule to remember is that you should always aim for the most important ball. This is important because you should have a good shot at scoring a point. It's not a good idea to lose your cue ball because it's not in the right place.
Final note: The rules of snooker state that you may pot a redball. Here are some keystrokes to help you do this. Specifically, you need to pot a ball that is either in your pocket or a coloured ball on the Centre Spot.
