Frequently Asked Questions

A maximum break (147) is scored by potting all 15 reds each followed by the black (15×8=120), then all six colours in sequence (2+3+4+5+6+7=27), totalling 147 points without missing.

When a player trails by more points than remain on the table, they need their opponent to foul (concede a snooker) to have a chance of winning. Each snooker foul is worth a minimum of 4 points. The scoreboard calculates how many snookers are needed automatically.

A foul occurs when a player hits the wrong ball first, pots a wrong ball, fails to hit any ball, or causes the cue ball to go off the table. The opponent receives the value of the ball fouled on or 4 points, whichever is greater.

A match is played as Best of N frames. The first player to win the majority of frames wins. For example, in a Best of 7, the first player to win 4 frames wins the match. Professional tournaments use Best of 25 or 35 frames for finals.
