this is the stupidest thread i have ever read you are not allowed to pot 2 colours after a red you must hit or pot the nominated colour anything else is a foul.

Not everyone is an expert as yourself. The guy asked a question and we tried to answer him comprehensively. No need to call it a stupid thread

Thank you for your input to the thread ste bed kind of already explained that though. I dont consider it to be stupid though as any problem for any person needs to be solved and if minus4 was uncertain he is totally entitled to pose the question to the forum.

Cheers sco. It was the next sentence that confused me! Doesnt take much to do that though believe me!!

No worries, like I said I tried explaining the logic behind the 5 points penalty or more in case it was a higher value colour that was potted along with the blue because really some people do enjoy the game but not everyone has access to proper knowledge

Sorry guys I´ll explain it in german so minus4 will understand...

also... es ist ein Foul... man darf zwar zwei rote zusammen lochen (das gibt dann 2 statt einem Punkt, aber man darf trotzdem nur eine Farbe danach lochen) aber man darf auf keinen Fall zwei Farben zusammmen lochen!
Also ists ein Foul... in dem geschilderten Fall bekämst Du einen Punkt (für die korrekt gelochte Rote) und Dein Gegener 5 Foulpunkte gutgeschrieben! Die Punkte für die Blaue bekommst Du nicht, weil sie ja im Zusammenhang mit einem Foul gefallen ist und 5 Foulpunkte gibts, weil Du ja Blau spielen wolltest und dabei gelocht hast, es ist immer der höchstwertigste an einem Foul beteiligte Ball maßgeblich für die Foulpunkte!... alles klar? Sonst schreib mir doch ne PN und wir klären das in deutsch...

no seriously its a five point foul. both colours go back on the spots.

Thanks for your answers, now its clear to me.

I didn´t know that i have to nominate a colour. Never heard Steven Hendry say: "Now yellow"
And my problem was, that it is alowed to pot two reds.

You do not have to actually SAY the ball you are going for. By aiming towards the ball, that is nominating it.

If it is not obvious - for example, if you are aiming in the direction of two possible colours, or if snookered - then the referee can ask the player to say the colour, in which case he MUST say it or it will be a foul.

But if you get down to the shot and it is obvious which ball you are aiming towards, then it is not necessary to say it.
