Frequently asked questions

How does scoring work in snooker?

Players score by potting balls in sequence: a red (1 point) first, then any colour (2 to 7 points), then another red, and so on. Colours are respotted while reds remain. Once the last red and its colour are gone, the six colours are potted in ascending order - yellow, green, brown, blue, pink, black - and stay off. The player with more points when the black falls wins the frame.

How many points is each ball worth in snooker?

Red is 1 point, yellow 2, green 3, brown 4, blue 5, pink 6 and black 7. With 15 reds on the table, the maximum available from a single visit is 147: 15 reds each followed by a black (120) plus the final colour clearance (27).

What is a 147 in snooker?

A 147, or maximum break, is the highest normally possible break: all 15 reds each followed by a black, then all six colours in order. It requires 36 consecutive pots without missing. With a free ball an even higher break is theoretically possible, up to 155.

What does snookers required mean?

A player needs snookers when the points remaining on the table are fewer than the deficit they are trailing by. The only way back is to force fouls - each foul is worth at least 4 penalty points. Scoreboards that compute points remaining after every shot can tell you the moment this happens.

What is a century break?

A century is a break of 100 points or more in a single visit to the table. It takes roughly 25 or more consecutive pots and is the standard benchmark of a top-level visit. Club players celebrate 30 and 50 breaks the same way.

How many penalty points does a foul give away?

A foul costs a minimum of 4 points, awarded to the opponent. If the ball on, the ball struck first, or any ball potted in the foul is worth more than 4, the penalty is that higher value, up to a maximum of 7.

How many balls are on a snooker table?

Twenty-two at the start of a full frame: 15 reds, 6 colours (yellow, green, brown, blue, pink, black) and the white cue ball. Shortened formats with 6 or 10 reds are common in club play and reduce that to 13 or 17.

What happens if a frame ends in a tie?

If the scores are level when the final black leaves the table, the black is respotted. The referee tosses for choice of who breaks the tie, the cue ball is played from in hand, and the next score or foul decides the frame.

How long does a frame of snooker take?

A professional frame typically runs 20 to 45 minutes; club frames are similar, and a best-of-five club match usually fills an evening. Shortened formats with 6 or 10 reds cut a frame to roughly 10 to 25 minutes.

Is there an app that keeps snooker scores, breaks and stats?

Snooker Scoreboard₊ by Panda Taps keeps frame and match scores with points remaining and snookers required recomputed after every shot, fouls at their correct minimums, deep undo, frame autosave, and break milestones at 30, 50, 100 and 147.
