Online Snooker Rules
brislet asked:
Snooker is a totally different game than pool, although its origins come from the same place. Snooker is played on a pool table with larger dimensions and with a different set of balls and longer cue sticks.
In Snooker, in addition to the white cue ball, there are 21 target balls, 15 red and 6 colored. Each ball color has a different point value. The red balls are worth 1 point, the yellow balls are worth 2, the green are worth 3, the brown are worth 4, the blue are worth 5, the pink are worth 6 and the black is worth 7.
Here’s how the game works. First you must pocket a red ball and then after every red ball that’s pocketed, you should pocket a color ball. This will allow you to gain the point value of the colored ball. If there are still red balls on the table, the colored balls are returned to their place on the table (there is a designated location for each colored ball) in order to continue gaining points. When there are no more red balls on the table, then the players must aim to pocket the colored balls. This must be done according to their point value. The overall objective of the game is to get more points than your opponent by the end of the game.
If a player causes the white cue ball to hit the wrong ball (either a colored before a red, or the wrong color at the end of the game because it’s out of order) then it’s considered a foul. When a player gets a foul, the player’s turn is over and his opponent gains points for the foul. The opponent can allow the player to then do-over the hit and if the player with a foul continues to foul (three in a row), then he automatically loses the frame.
Online snooker is played the same as offline snooker. Many players like to play snooker online in order to practice their skills and learn additional strategies as they go along. It’s a great way for players who are learning snooker (and who might not have access to snooker tables, etc.), to play the game and develop their personal skills and strategies.
