You want to play the great game of snooker, but don't know how. It is easier than
you think! Well, to get started that is, but how good you become relies on many
things. Talent is of course a major ingredient to being good at snooker,
however you can still play a good game if you practice hard and are
disciplined.
Over the next months I will try to help with tips on how to improve your game, from the early stages through to the advanced. Also if any of you out there have questions on playing the game let me know and I will try to help.
Obtain the proper equipment. Snooker is played with
22, unnumbered object balls, divided into two groups of 15 red balls, 6
balls
of different colours and one white ball (the cue ball). Each ball has a different point value: red=1, yellow=2, green=3, brown=4, blue=5, pink=6, and black=7
Understand that you're trying to score a higher number of points than your opponent by potting the balls, i.e. sinking the red and the coloured balls alternately into the table pockets.
Toss a coin to decide who is to play first. The first player has to cause the cue ball to contact a red ball. If he fails to do this, the other player tries.
The first player to cause the cue ball to contact a red ball continues by potting or touching one of the coloured balls and then a red ball in sequence until he fails. Then, the turn is moved to the other player, who has to pot a red then a coloured ball in sequence
until he fails.
Continue in that manner as long as there are still red balls on the table. As long as there are red balls on the table, all the potted coloured balls return to their original position on the table.
Pot the lowest value to the highest value coloured balls in sequence after the red balls run out. From then on, the coloured balls are no long put back in their original position.
The snooker game ends when there are no longer balls on the table. The winner is the player who had scored the highest number of points.
