Hi from Nottingham - quick question...

[AdtB]

Hi
I am Adrian from Nottingham. I have a question which I keep getting different answers to, so hopefully someone here will be able to clarify it for me:

I was aiming for a red, but hit the green ball instead. However, the green then went and knocked the black ball into the pocket, so my question is this...is it a 4 point foul for hitting the Green first, or a 7 point foul because the black went in the pocket?

Cheers

7 point foul, the highest foul counts

Ok cheers, and thats for amateur snooker as well as professional? The rules are the same?

[DeanH]

the rules are the same

[jrc750]

There are only one set of rules

[jrc750]

The only thing that differs is that the mis rule is often not implemented in local clubs etc

Ok got it. Thanks for the help.

I think it should be an 11 point foul just for messing up so bad.

a few nights a go, my friends and I has this same discussion; if all fouls in a stroke were cumulative

would make "needing snookers" nearly redundant till the very end of a frame
