Color ball spot question

[w0lfas]

Hello everyone,

For example i pot brown, and white ball stands in its position, blue and black balls places aren't "occupied", so the question would be if brown should be placed on the highest value spot(black), or on higher spot (blue)?

Hope you understood my question, thanks in advance for your time reading & answering. :snooker:

the ball is always placed on the highest value spot available,if all the spots are occupied then its placed as close as possible to its own spot

... so in your example, the black spot.

and what happens if you pot a colour, yellow for instance, then the cue ball ends up on it's spot, and all the other spots are taken aswell. where does the yellow go to then?

A ball will always be spotted on its own spot. If that spot is occupied, then it will be spotted on the highest spot available. If no spot is available, then it will be placed as close to its own spot in a direct line betwen its spot and the top cushion.
All rules governing the spotting of colours are described in Section 2, Rule 7.
So lkomarci, the yellow would be placed directly in front of the cue-ball (Section 2, Rule 7(f)).

Something I've never seen in use is rule 2.7g: if you pot the black (or pink), all the spots are covered, and there's no available space between the spot and the top cushion, it's placed on the nearest available space between the spot and the baulk cushion. Anyone ever seen this happen?

Yes. In the case of the black, in particular, it does not take too many balls to block the space between its spot and the top cushion. (I cannot name a specific example, but have certainly seen this happen more than once.)
