Rules & Regulations:
This is a simplified version of traditional snooker played with only six red balls. While
standard snooker rules apply, the following modifications are in effect:
1. Foul and a Miss:
- A maximum of five consecutive “Foul and a Miss” calls is allowed.
- After the fourth consecutive call, the referee will issue a final warning. If the foul continues,
the opponent will have three options:
1. Play the shot from where the balls have come to rest.
2. Ask the opponent to play from the current position.
3. Place the cue ball anywhere on the table, except when the frame has reached the
“snookers required” stage.
2. Snookering Restrictions:
- A player is not permitted to snooker behind a nominated colour ball at any time
3. All-Ball Tie Situations:
- In case of a tie where only colours remain, Foul and a Miss rules will still apply.
4. Snookers on Colours:
- If a player requires four or more snookers on colours (with no reds left), the frame is
considered over.
