How to play Online Snooker
Goal. Score more points than your opponent in one frame by potting reds and colours in turn.
Taking a shot
- Drag on the table to aim, set the power with the slider and press Shoot. With a mouse you can also pull back from the cue ball and let go.
- The first shot of the frame, and any shot after the cue ball is potted, is played from inside the D.
- Your opponent sees the shot replayed on their table as soon as you play it.
Scoring
- Pot a red (1 point), then any colour: yellow 2, green 3, brown 4, blue 5, pink 6, black 7. Then a red again.
- While reds remain, potted colours go back on their spots. After the last red the colours are potted in order from yellow to black.
- When a colour is on and the cue ball would meet a cushion first, name the colour you are playing before you shoot.
Fouls
- Missing the ball on, hitting the wrong ball first or potting the cue ball is a foul worth at least four points to your opponent, more for the higher colours.
- After a foul the incoming player chooses: play on, make the offender play again, or after a miss have the balls put back.
- If the foul leaves them snookered they may take a free ball: any colour can be played as the ball on.
Winning
- The frame ends when the black is potted with the scores apart. The higher score wins.
- If the scores are level, the black is re-spotted and the next score or foul decides the frame.
