The Rules of Snooker - EXPLAINED! 

What if "Que ball is in touch with a red ball, played to release it free but did touch a color ball." . What happens in this case? please explain same situation with different possible shots(outcomes)

Fouls of your opponent are never part of any break. 147 is a maximum and 155 is the highest break you can score with a free ball situation.

This hypothetical free ball situation has never happened in the history of the professional game.

That is ok. But , say me what will be the empire declaraion according to the snooker rules(for below sitation)? 1) I played and potted a red, the cue-ball is in kiss with red now. What should I do? 2)Starting of my turn, the cue-ball is in kiss with a red, I tried to play the cueball without touching anything, but it touched a coor ball. Is that shot ok?

Ninh Ly just curious, does that mean it CANNOT happen?

+Irrg Ignot I can help you with that! Check out my other videos, I've made a Cricket one too! Thanks man, I appreciate the comments. Be sure to share this video and subscribe :)

Just Because You Are American Doesn't Mean You Cant Play A Traditionally British/Indian Sport

Irrg Ignot - You said exactly what I was thinking!

As a person who didn't understand snooker I could never understand snooker, but now I do.

Matthew Train Never heard of Snooker until I accidentally discovered a snooker table in a pool hall. Because America separated from Great Britain, it just never caught on and there's only a small following here. Also, Snooker tables are heavy and expensive. I don't live in the UK, so I can't just waltz over and buy one myself. I'm going to have to order a chinese one. If I had the option, I would want a real deal English one. I'm limited to the pool hall sadly.

jimmyfly He never said it wasn't complex. He was just saying the rules are actually very simple now that he has watched the video. He also never said it wasn't difficult to become good. Your reading comprehension must be extremely low. You're reading stuff in between the lines that isn't even there. In no way was he attacking snooker, but still you're trying to defend it.

Jesus just shut up all of you. What up Lavar.

Big Baller Brand baby

It's a pretty simple game.

IMO it’s better than pool. I find pool to be checkers and snooker chess. Pool is so simple while snooker is much more complicated and takes more mental work

@@GeoJesse Zero clue what you're talking about. There's a reason professional snooker players never say things like what you just said about pool.

@@aweigh1010 why would they? It’s terrible publicity trashing another sport. I play both pool and snooker and find snooker much harder. I can run a table in pool all day. Never ran a snooker table in my life and doubt I ever will. In pool they win frames SO MUCH when they pot a ball off the break. They pot one ball on the break and know exactly what they’re gonna do for the rest of the run. In snooker only the pros can run a whole table after being the first to pot. And even then, it’s VERY rare that there’s a frame where the other person doesn’t get an opportunity. In pool, half the time if they make a ball off the break it’s frame over. That’s what makes snooker more fun to watch. Both players get a chance each frame usually. You’ll have a frame here and there where the first to pot is first to win, but rarely ever does the first potter make it and you go “well, frame over” If it’s the better pool players, if one ball gets made off the break, more times than not they clear up. It’s SUPER annoying how that happens. That’s why 9 ball is really primarily what I watch. 8 ball seems like almost every frame is the first person to break ends up clearing up.

Me toooo 😂...I've heard of snooker but don't know the rules.

Great, glad this video helps you understand Snooker Adam!

and from what I've gathered from watching, Ronnie O'Sullivan is pretty much the best in the world at what he does. Anybody please correct me if I'm wrong :D

Me too; the one where he gets a 146 when he finds out it's only £10,000 for a maxi

did you watch his maximum break video? the one where he asked the judge what the bonus was for a maximum break was fantastic. he knew at the break he was gonna run the table, i felt bad for his opponent

Same here 😂

Thanks bro, much appreciated.

Ninh Ly please explain safety play. You failed to do this.

Thanks for the comments Thomas, be sure to share this video and subscribe :)

I'm pretty sure its the game where he did 146 points on purpose because the 147 prize was too cheap :D

He also recently got his 15th maximum break

Thanks Harold! I appreciate the compliments! Thanks man, be sure to share this video and subscribe :)

Ah, I see what you did there. Nice one!

Wow lol

Hahaa

I don't get it? Would you mind ronning that by me again?

@@UguysRnuts Again? I've already ronniet by you 146 times. Do I need to do it a 147th time?

matt THORNE I haven't done a video on Chess, as it's more of a board game than a sport. In fact, you're the only person to ever ask me for it. If I get enough demand, I can do, but I'm pretty sure there's plenty of videos out there that teach that sort of thing.

You've got a point it's not really a sport. Great videos btw keep up the good work

+Ninh Ly Chess is a sport! +MattTHORNE There are many great chess videos on youtube already. Sign up for free at chess.com. They have lots of instruction and if you upgrade instructional videos.

Hi David. Yes, I believe that if you are touching red, you must hit a completely different red ball without moving the the 'touching ball' otherwise, it's a foul. It's in Section 3 of the WPBSA rulebook, I think? Hope that helps?

Yes it does, thanks. I saw one where Ding Junhui had the cue ball touching two reds at the same time against Selby. He cued straight down and barely moved the cue ball but didn't play on another red. He wasn't called for a foul.

If you are touching a red and and your next shot has to be a red then you do not have to hit another red. You can hit another red if you choose or even a colour or as is often the case no ball at all but the only thing that actually matters is that you do not move the red you are touching at the moment of striking the cue ball. If you are touching a colour and your next ball is red you simply have to hit a red without moving the colour you are touching. If you are touching a colour and your next ball has to be a colour you can either nominate the colour you are touching and play away hitting any ball or no ball as long as you do not move the ball you are touching or you can nominate another colour and play away from the ball you are touching while striking the ball you have nominated first without moving the ball you are touching.

Yes Darren is spot on, if the next ball on is the touching ball, it is deemed that the player has already hit it when they play away, no other contact is necessary - though just as in the case of any other cannon, is also legal.

@@NinhLyUK No this in incorrect, touching ball is play away and you do not have to hit another ball as you have already hit the ball you are touching

Hi Chris. Believe it or not, the 'official rule' is that you have to call the colour you're shooting at every single time. But the referee's don't enforce it if a snooker player is obviously aiming for a specific colour. i.e. he's pointing the cue ball in the direction of the black ball and it's obvious that the snooker player aims to pot the black ball. If it's unclear which one he's going for, the referee will ask him to make a declaration, and if it's unclear if he will make the pot, he has to declare which colour he's aiming for, otherwise it's a foul if another ball goes in. Hope that helps?

Yes it does. Thank you!

Any time bro!

Thanks. But nobody defeats Ronnie, that guy is a machine!

Ninh Ly I know right...i was kidding M a big fan too❤️

Even I defeated ronnie in snooker the guy next door ronnie Paul

Believe it or not, I used to practice snooker on a pool table by buying smaller snooker balls. You can learn the game and then move onto a bigger table when you're ready.

Anytime bro, glad this video helped!

+Greg Scott Yes it does! If another ball is on or near the spot of a coloured ball (to be replaced), and the ball won't go back on it's spot properly, the next available dot is used to place the coloured ball back on the table. Hope that helps? Be sure to share this video and subscribe :)

Yes, it does. Thanks! I don't know the game but I'm getting hooked watching these bid's.

+Greg Scott I'm a big fan of Snooker but I love watching these videos anyway :P Just to add to the rule of replacing a ball where the spot is already taken, if it cannot go on its own spot then it is placed on the highest value spot available. If no spot is available, then it is placed as close to its own spot as possible in a direct line with the top cushion :)

LeePrototype That clears it up pretty well, Lee. Thanks. It really is an amazing game.

Greg Scott It is, I've been hooked ever since I discovered it :)

Certainly seems that way!

He’s good.. but what about Mark Selby?

Matthew Lo Selby probably no2

Thanks Romin, I appreciate the comments! Be sure to check out my channel for more content like this :)

No, once you pot a red - you must aim for a different coloured ball.

oh thanks

You can pot 2 or more reds in one shot. But usually it is disadvantageous as you can't score as much points.

show in a row, not in a roll.

@@mikepowell8213 I was wondering the same thing, as I've yet to see more that one ball fall on a strike. Thought there might be a foul involved, but the point potential makes sense. Thanks!

Depends on how you look at it.

You can't do that either, but what I mean is that if the cue ball is resting on a ball, you cannot move it.

Only when you're the only person in the room while playing.

When both the cue ball and object ball are touching in a stationary position, you must hit a different ball or either play away otherwise it’s considered a push shot which is a foul.

@steve gibson thats a different game, called pocket billiards

Cool, glad this video helps. Check out my channel for more content like this :)

Dude, there's a lot of rules I didn't mention. It's impossible to list every nuance in a 5 minute video.

very unprofessional... haha

magzire If that spot is covered by another ball, the ball is placed on the highest available spot. If there is no available spot, it is placed as close to its own spot as possible in a direct line between that spot and the top cushion, without touching another ball. If there is no room this side of the spot, it will be placed as close to the spot as possible in a straight line towards the bottom cushion, without touching another ball

In theory yes, but usually it's customary to just sit back and watch.

Conceding means you don't come back to the table, so it doesn't just stop the game, i.e. your opponent can continue to play until the end of their turn

you can, but play continues for the record, and for the fans, until a miss

Thank you kindly!

Keep watching snooker and it'll all make sense. Be sure to share this vid and subscribe :)

@@OtakuLogan2017 I dont think the real luca brecel knows the rules

your first shot must be to a red. after every potted red you must hit or pot a color. the reds stay in the pocket the color comes back up to a certain spot. when all the reds are gone the colors must be potted in a certain order.

Cool thanks Larry. glad this video helps you understand Snooker!
