Rules of Snooker

As well as our tutorials on how to play snooker, our articles on the etiquette and psychology of snooker and our constantly updated snooker news from around the world, we’re also planning a section on the intricacies of the rules of snooker here at Snooker Guide.

 

So far in our members section we’ve put up a guide to the basic rules and we’ve explored some of the finer rules of snooker, examining the ‘miss’ rule and the ‘free ball’ rule and why they have caused so much confusion.

 

We’ve looked at these rules from the point of view of both player and referee and tried to show, for example, why a ‘miss’ is called so often on TV but is probably unnecessary when playing in clubs.

 

For those people who are new to the game we’ve gone through the basic rules of snooker step by step but we also plan on posting some interesting teasers for those of you who think you know everything there is to know about the rules of snooker.

 

We’ll be testing you on what a referee should call in a given scenario and exploring some of the quirks of the game like scoring more than a maximum or how to decide when a frame should be restarted because it is going nowhere.

 

We’ve also included a section on the history of the game, from billiards through to snooker which shows how the modern rules of snooker have developed and more interestingly, how television has affected the game.

 

This is a hot topic at the moment with snooker undergoing a regime change and we’ll be examining what new forms of the game (and changes in rules) might be coming as the Barry Hearn revolution continues apace.

 

Finally we’ll be discussing in our forums how strictly these rules of snooker should be applied in a club on a Friday night when playing your mates and whether it is ever acceptable to call a ‘miss’ when your mate can’t get out of a snooker!
