The Snooker World Championship is — for many — one of the biggest sporting events of the year but the sport is also played in clubs, and sometimes pubs, all over the UK by amateurs of all levels. It developed from another cue sport, billiards, which began in the 16th century, with snooker coming along in the late 19th century.
The table is rectangular, measuring 12ft x 6ft and just under 3ft in height, and usually made of wood with a slate top covered in green baize. The table has six pockets into which the balls are potted, one in each corner and two in the middle of the long sides, or cushions. The end from which the game starts is called the baulk end and has a line across the width of the table 29 inches from the baulk cushion. In the centre of this is the D, an The hard balls, made from phenolic resin, are approximately 2.
There are 15 red balls and one each of black, pink, blue, brown, green and yellow, as well as a white cue ball which is the only one struck by the players. The colours go on their spots, the green, brown and yellow from left to right on the baulk line across the semi-circle. The 15 reds are placed in a triangle with one red at the point behind the pink.
The black is worth seven and is the most valuable going down through pink six , blue five , brown four , green three and yellow two. After each colour the six colours are re-spotted but the reds are not the player reverts to a red and alternates red, then colour until all the reds are potted. The remaining six colours are then potted in ascending points order, thus finishing with the black.
A player continues until he misses a ball or commits a foul, the players alternating turns. The maximum standard break the term given to a consecutive run of pots is 15 reds taken with 15 blacks and then all the colours. If a player commits a foul their opponent is awarded four points, unless the foul occurred whilst playing the blue, pink or black or hit one of those higher values first, in which case the foul is worth the value of the ball in question.
A snooker is where the balls are so placed so that the player cannot directly hit the next legal ball. The hope is to force a foul and earn four points. If a player thinks they cannot win, even by forcing snookers, they concede the frame, usually when around four or more snookers fouls would be required in addition to all the remaining balls, depending on how many balls are left.
Players take it in turns to break start the frame with a coin toss deciding who starts the first frame. The break is made with the cue-ball in the D and a red must be struck.
If both players agree a frame can be restarted, if, for example, both players agree the balls are so placed that the frame could lead to a stalemate. A push shot, which is a foul, is when the tip of the cue remains in contact with the cue-ball as it in turn touches the target ball.
The cue ball must only be played with one clean strike of the cue. The referee may call a miss if the player does not strike the correct ball and is adjudged not to have made a serious attempt to. The other player is awarded the foul four or more and has the option to make the player replay the shot. The cue ball must hit the nominated ball first, or if it is a red, any red.
Failure to do so is a foul, as is not hitting any ball or potting a non-nominated ball. If the player touches any ball with any part of their body or any ball other than the white with their cue it is a foul.

If the player next in turn elects to play the next stroke : i he may nominate any ball as the ball on , but a free ball cannot be the ball on; ii any nominated ball shall be regarded as, and acquire the value of, the ball on except that, if potted , it shall then be spotted.
It is a foul if the cue-ball should: i fail to hit the nominated ball first, or first simultaneously with the ball on ; or ii be snookered on all Reds, or the ball on , by the free ball thus nominated , except when the Pink and Black are the only object balls remaining on the table.

If a ball on is potted , after the cue-ball struck the nominated ball first, or simultaneously with a ball on , the ball on is scored and remains off the table.
If both the nominated ball and a ball on are potted , only the ball on is scored unless it was a Red, when each ball potted is scored.

In the latter case it must be assumed the striker is attempting to hit the ball on provided that he plays, directly or indirectly, at the ball on with sufficient strength, in the referee's opinion, to have reached the ball on but for the obstructing ball or balls.
After a FOUL AND A MISS has been called, the next player may request the offender to play again from the position left, or at his discretion, from the original position, with all balls being replaced, in which latter case the ball on shall be the same as it was prior to the last stroke made, namely: i Any Red, where Red was the ball on ; ii the color on , where all Reds were off the table; or iii a color of the striker's choice, where the ball on was a color after a Red had been potted.
If the striker , in making a stroke , fails to first hit a ball on when there is a clear path in a straight line from the cue-ball to any part of any ball that is or could be on , the referee shall always call FOUL AND A MISS unless as described under paragraph a i and a ii.
After a miss has been called under paragraph c above when there was a clear path in a straight line from the cue-ball to a ball that was on or could have been on , such that central, full ball, contact was available in the case of Reds, this to be taken as a full diameter of any Red that is not obstructed by a color , then: i a further failure to first hit a ball on in making a stroke from the original position shall be called as a FOUL AND A MISS regardless of the difference in scores; ii if asked to play again from the original position, the offender shall be warned by the referee that a third failure will result in the frame being awarded to his opponent; and iii if asked to play from the position left, the FOUL AND A MISS situation starts again.
After the cue-ball has been replaced under this Rule, and the striker fouls any ball, including the cue-ball while preparing to play a stroke , a miss will not be called if a stroke has not been played.
In this case the appropriate penalty will be imposed. The next player may then elect to play himself or ask the offender to play again from the position left or the original position.
If being asked to play again, the ball on shall be the same as prior to the last stroke made, namely: i any Red, where Red was the ball on ; ii the color on , where all Reds were off the table; or iii a color of the striker's choice, where the ball on was a color after a Red had been potted ; If the above situation arises during a sequence of miss calls as described under paragraph d , any warning concerning the possible awarding of the frame to his opponent shall remain in effect.
When any ball is being replaced after a miss , both the offender and the next player will be consulted as to its position, after which the referee's decision shall be final.
During such consultation, if either player should touch any ball in play , he shall be penalized as if he were the striker , without affecting the order of play. The ball touched shall be replaced by the referee, to his satisfaction, even if it was picked up, Section 3. If a ball, stationary or moving, is disturbed other than by the striker , it shall be re-positioned by the referee to the place he judges the ball was, or would have finished, without penalty.
This Rule shall include cases where another occurrence or person, causes the striker to move a ball, but will not apply in cases where a ball moves due to any defect in the table surface, except in the case where a spotted ball moves before the next stroke has been made. No player shall be penalized for any disturbance of balls by the referee.
If the referee thinks a position of stalemate exists, or is being approached, he shall offer the players the immediate option of re-starting the frame. If any player objects, the referee shall allow play to continue with the proviso that the situation must change within a stated period, usually after three more strokes to each side but at the referee's discretion. If the situation remains basically unchanged after the stated period has expired, the referee shall nullify all scores and re-set all balls as for the start of a frame and.
In a Four-handed game each side shall open alternate frames and the order of play shall be determined at the start of each frame and, when so determined, must be maintained throughout that frame. Players may change the order of play at the start of each new frame.
