SB/PS Snooker Blitz Rules

Looking for a quick refresh on the rules, or never played before and are brand new to the sport, below is a simplified version of the Snooker rules to get you started; 

Snooker Rules (Simplified)

You start with 15 red balls and 5 colored balls. Each color is worth different points:

Red = 1 point

Yellow = 2 points

Green = 3 points

Brown = 4 points

Blue = 5 points

Pink = 6 points

Black = 7 points

The goal is to pot/sink balls in sequence, starting with a red ball, followed by any colored ball. Keep doing this until you pot all the reds or miss a shot. Then, it's your opponent's turn. All your points up to that point will be counted toward your final score.

When you pot/sink a colored ball after a red, the colored ball is put back on the table, but the red isn't.

Once all the reds are potted, you can choose any remaining color again. Then, pot the remaining balls in sequence from lowest to highest points: Yellow, Green, Brown, Blue, Pink, and finally Black. These balls aren't re-spotted. When the final black is potted, the table is cleared.

The player who scores the most points wins the frame.

Aim for the highest points ball after the red to earn more points and win the match.

If you don't have a direct shot on your next ball, you're snookered. This means your opponent has no clear line of sight to a red ball and can't hit it directly. If you don't hit a red as your first shot, you foul and give your opponent points.

If you foul on the cue ball by potting it, the ball is placed back on the table.

The highest break you can get in the game is 147 points. To achieve this, you must have a red-black, red-black sequence until all reds are potted and then pot the remaining colors in sequence.

Advanced rules:

If you foul on a snooker, your opponent can make you play the shot again up to three times. Each time, you give away points.

Touching Ball: If the cue ball touches another ball during your turn, you must "play away" from that ball without moving it. You don't have to hit any other ball if the touching ball is considered "on."
