American reacts to 1 in a trillion moments in Snooker!

[@matshjalmarsson3008]

O'Sullivan is by many if not all indeed concidered the GOAT. He is also one of the fastest players, which makes him even more entertaing to watch. And he is ambidaxtrian. The rules are fairly simple, there are red balls and coloured balls. You have to hit a red ball first, if it's potted you go for a coloured one, then a red and so on. The reds stay in the pockets, but the colours are put back. When all reds are potted you have to pot the colours in order. The reds are worth one point and the colours are worth 2-7 points with the black being the 7. There are some more rules, like "touching ball", but that's the basics. Snooker tables are quite big and the pockets are tight, and it's standardized, ie you'll not find larger or smaller tables.

There are smaller 3/4 tables and both Snooker and Billiards are played on Pool sized tables......but Championship games are only played on the standard English table, and private clubs etc rarely use the smaller tables. Pool halls, Billiards and Snooker rooms sometimes use smaller tables to fit more in.

For someone who’ìs pretty much new to snooker, you’ve watched completely the wrong video. You’ve now got a totally warped impression of snooker rules that will be hard to rectify in your head. These clips were unusual events, comedic events and exhibition events. A couple for example: 1. The clip (and its companion afterwards) in which the seated player sneezes… was a comedy skit, not real, featuring two of Britain’s funniest traditional comedians (the ref and the seated player). 2. The player scattering the balls as he was removing the cue and rest from the table. No, it *was not* intentional. He tried to remove the cue and rest before the cue ball came round to contact the rest and/or cue. These rests can be relatively heavy. While trying to quickly remove it, it slipped out of control. Simple.

A 147 is the maximum score you can get for clearing the entire table yourself, this requires you to pot the black ball after every red one. In that play, he was unable to place the cue ball in a good spot for the black, to actually get the max score, but he still managed to pot a very difficult shot. And he managed to place the cue ball very well for the yellow ball(2 points), which is the next ball after all the red balls. Red(1), Yellow(2), Green(3), Brown(4), Blue(5), Pink(6), Black(7).

[@anglosaxon5874]

To get the max score of 147, you have to knock in one red followed by a black X15 [as there are 15 red balls] then do the colours in order: yellow [2pts]; green [3pts]; brown [4pts]; blue [5pts]; pink [6pts] and black [7pts]. Red = 1pt.

[@AndrewAHayes]

[@lukebarton5075]

@Andrew He is correct though. He’s not saying the point come from fouls. He’s referring to a free-ball scenario. If you have a free-ball before any reds are potted then player nominates a colour to become an extra red. Pot that, then a black , then regular max break for a break of 155. 1 + 7 + 147. You are also right in saying that a 147 is referred to a a maximum break, as normally it is.

[@dangermouse8466]

@@AndrewAHayes Technically, there are two maximum breaks. First is when you pot a red followed by a black x15, followed by the colours in order. That will give you a 147. The second is if a player fouls, leaves a free ball ie one colour is counted as a red, and the opponent then pots 16 reds and 16 blacks and the colours in order, then that is a 155. Both are considered maximum breaks. Any other break is not considered a maximum unless, if you count the special Saudi Arabian sponsored tournament where you can make a 167.

Yellow-2, Green-3, Brown-4, Blue-5, Pink-6, Black-7. To score 147, you must sink a Red, then the Black, then another Red, then the Black, and so on, until all the Reds (15 in all) are gone. After you pot the last Black, you must then sink the coloured balls in the order above; Yellow, Green, Brown, Blue, Pink, Black. The table is 12 feet long, by 6 feet wide.

[@TheTamilian]

The maximum break of 147 is achieved when one player pots every red ball, each with a black ball and then all the coloured balls in order. (When a red ball is potted the player then has the opportunity to pot a coloured ball. If successful they can then attempted another red and another colour until they miss a shot. The coloured ball is then returned to its spot on the table). For the maximum break all 15 reds have to be potted with 15 black balls. 1 point for each red and 7 points for each black, a total of 120 points. Then they pot the coloured balls in order: yellow, 2 points; green, 3 points; brown, 4; blue, 5; pink, 6 and black, 7, a total of 147.

One thing you have to understand about snooker is that the table isn't just bigger, but the holes are rounded and points outwards and are narrower compared to the balls, which are also smaller. So it's more different than you think if you're been playing pool. I thought that I would do well in snooker, because I was a fairly good pool player with more than a hundred run in straight pool. But I've never broken even 50 points in snooker. I haven't played that much but it should still give an idea.

[@NigelLangmead]

One of these shots is from a comedy show called the morecambe and wise show.

[@legend9335]

The basic is, you pot a red( 1 point) then a colour of which there are 5. Yellow 1 point, green 3 points, brown 4 points, blue 5 points, pink 6 points and black 7 points. When all the reds are potted you then finish the game by potting all the colours in the afore mentioned order. To pot one red off another is called a "plant". When playing a shot at least one foot must be on the ground.

Rules for points are pretty simple. Pot a red (1 pt) and then any other color (2-7 pt) in turn until all red are gone. After the last red and a free color (which is placed again), pot the colors in order yellow (2 pt), green (3 pt), brown (4 pt), blue (5 pt), pink (6 pt) and black (7 pt). As black has highest value you can only get 147 pt if you pot the black after every red.

The rules are simple you pot a red followed by a colour then when there are no more reds the colours are potted in sequence yellow, green, brown, blue, pink and black. If you go in off pot the white that's four points to your opponent you have the choice to make your opponent play again or play the shot yourself, if the its not deemed a good enough attempt ie your opponent you can put the balls back in the positions they were in and make your opponent play again was snookered until either they hit the intended ball or until its deemed they made a good enough attempt to hit the intended ball.

Then red and color...so long if you pottet the latest red an colour. Then play the colours at the end in line yellow, green, brown, blue, pink and black. red ball is 1 point, yellow 2, green 3, brown 4, blue 5, pink 6 and black 7 points. If you play maximum break jou must play 15 x red with 15 x black in one line, theres 15x8 points is 120 and 2 yellow+3 green+4 brown+5 blue+6 pink+7 black is 147.

1st things first, its Snoooker! Its not like Pool at all. For starters, a Pro Snooker Table is 12 feet long and over 6feet wide plus the pockets are much smaller. When you see one for the first time, they are intimidating, they are Huge. T o get a high score, you obviously pot the balls that are rated highest, in this case Black (7points). At the start of a game the first player has to hit a Red which will be in the set up triangle. his aim is to hit the red ball without disturbing the triangle of reds and put the cue ball(white) back down the table at the start position and on the cushion tight (baulk cushion) trying to make it as difficult as possible for the other player, To pot any colour you must first pot a red. in the break where Ronnie O'Sullivan makes his 147 he starts after his opponent has made the first shot. To get a max break Ronnie has to pot a red then a black continuously through all the 15 reds and a black. Now he has to pot all the colours in sequence, Yellow(2) Green(3)Brown(4) Blue(5) Pink(6) and the final Black(7) giving a total of 147. WHATS amazing here, is that he did it in 5mins 30sec- the fastest ever. Just one more thing, to carry on the break after potting a ball, its obvious that the white ball should be in the best position be able to pot another ball. Watch Ronnie, see where his white ball finishes up, almost always, just where he wants it to be, thats the skill part.

[@Lilly8Listens]

I love the fact that Americans are beginning to watch snooker, but what bugs me is that unless they actually try playing it, not one of them can appreciate how incredibly difficult the game is.

And don't knock in (or even hit) colours before another red. Do not knock in the white cue ball. And never ever knock in the black out of sequence (automatic loss of the frame)

I Played an American at pool once who told me they do that, I then replied ' we call it an American when you go in off'. 'Really! he replied.... and after the required pause I said 'no'. :)

i like looking snooker but play only pool.. i like the shorter round duration and easier foul handling of pool. for the 2nd scene - first was a foul as he needed to hit a red - so the balls are reset to the origin position where he again has to play bank first as he can't reach the red. and 2nd try he did not just "not foul" as he hit a red - he potted a very lucky shot. Sullivan at 2:40 - look the predicted shot and how the yellow poted in the end - LUL. But sulivan is a genious even if this was luck. 147 - on the rules you play red then another color where black has the highest value then red again etc. other colors are back on the table as long there are no more reds. Then you clear the table from the lowest value to black. if you can play red/black until all read are gone and pot every other color you got 147 and most likely a high price. (This usually means that you clear the table in one single turn. Fouls give the oponent i think 4 points. you allways start a turn by potting a red, "snooker" is if you end your turn by not potting and hiding the white somewhere from where you can not play a red directly. Making it hard for the oponent to score. You can end your turn deliberetly (by playing a valid ball) if you think the position of the balls are so bad you want your opponent face the problem after which the balls may have better positions for you.
