If possible, aim for the edge of the triangle of reds so the white ball will bounce off the top cushion and return to the baulk area of the table, making it as difficult as possible for you opponent to score on his shot.
Note: You may only hit a red ball first when its your turn. If you hit a colored ball purposely or by accident, then it is deemed a foul. This gives your opponent foul points. Additionally, if the white balls goes into the pocket for any reason, then this is a foul shot and your opponent gets to place the white ball anywhere in the D section or he can make you play from the D if the shot is hard.
You may only use the white ball to hit with your cue. If your cue touches any other ball on the table, it is also deemed a foul shot. After a few shots, you may have an opportunity to pot a red into any of the six pockets available. If you pot the red ball you get one point for this. Anytime a red is potted, you get another shot straight away. On the next shot you can go for a coloured ball.
Ideally you will want to pot the colour that carries the most value but this is not always possible. Giving yourself the best opportunity to score as much points as possible is better even if it means potting some lower value colours. After potting the colour, you must then pot a red again and NOT a colour. If you miss the colour you intended to pot, then it automatically becomes your opponents turn to take the next shot.
This sequence of events continues until all of the reds on the table have been potted. When there are only colours left of the table, it is important that they are potted in exactly sequence.
Firstly the yellow ball is played until potted, followed by the green, brown, blue pink and finally the black. When the black is potted the game is over and the person with the most amount of points wins that frame. The more you practice playing snooker, the better you will become. Be patient and always try to improve on the last time you played. Eventually the rules will become second nature to you.
Now you know the very basics of how to play snooker. The game is far more complex than this, however this guide is for those that have never tried to play before and gives a simple tutorial on how to play the game. This will teach you the basic principles and rules of the game. Set the rack by placing 14 red balls in a pyramid with the pink ball at the point and the black ball behind the pyramid.
The blue ball is placed in the middle of the table. The brown, yellow, and green balls are placed in a line across from the pyramid. Refer to the diagram below to see how to set up snooker game.
Jump shots are illegal in snooker. If you pot the incorrect ball in the wrong sequence then this shot is considered a foul. It then becomes the opposing players turn and no points are scored. Foul red balls are left off the table but foul colored balls are re-spotted on the table. Color balls are placed in the same position that they were in at the beginning of the game. If this spot is occupied by another ball, the ball is placed on the spot of the highest value color that is vacant.
If all of these positions are occupied, snooker rules state that you are to place the re-spotted ball as close as possible to its original starting position on a straight line between its spot and the nearest point on the top cushion.
