Snooker is an old form of billiard that originated in the UK around the 1870s. You will use a snooker cue, and balls of various colours. Players are supposed to score points by potting balls or "potting" them in a designated spot. The aim is to score more than your opponents. Some players will be safe while others may take more risks. To make matters worse, a player may intentionally foul their opponent in order to win the game.
The rules of snooker are simple. If you don't understand the rules, it can be confusing. These are the basics you should know:
First, you need to understand that there are several types of fouls. The most common type of foul is failing "on" to hit the ball. When this occurs, the referee calls a foul. A foul may be called multiple times in one stroke. 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. If you foul your opponent on the up-and-down table, you won't be able do anything.
Another snooker rule is that your opponent can play a foul on you. You have two options: you can play a free or lay snooker if your opponent fouls. Make sure that you don't foul on your next shot. Fouls are a deliberate offense that can result in your frame being forfeited and you losing.
There are also many other rules. In snooker, you are prohibited from playing a "free" snooker ball in front or a coloured one. This is called "double foul". You should also not place all your balls on the table before the free ball. Otherwise, your opponent will have an easy time winning the game.
Even the rules of snooker state that you should place the cueball in an inoff position. In-off refers to a situation where the cue ball enters the pocket and hits another one.
It is a snooker rule not to try to grab all your balls at once. This is often done as a means of avoiding the dreaded snooker. You have to order the balls correctly before you can pocket them.
Another important rule of snooker is to aim for the highest-value ball. You should always aim for the most important ball to have a chance of scoring a point. Of course, you don't want to miss your cue ball because you didn't have the right ball in the right place.
Finally, the snooker rules state that you are allowed to pot a "red ball". Here are some keystrokes to help you do this. You must either place a colored ball on the Centre Spot or your pocket ball.
