  • Is this a foul or not?

    Hello!

    I've been playing snooker for a couple of years now. I now have a question regarding rules and I hope someone can answer this.
    The situation is as follows: Player A gets to the table, pots a red, but snookers himself on all the colours. He then announces a colour (green for example). He misses the green, the referee calls 'foul and a miss'. Player B takes the 'miss' option, so player A plays again from the same position. He announces the green once again, and this time, he hits it and, by chance, even pots it.
    In this situation, will player A's break go on as if nothing had happened, meaning he would get the 3 points for green and continue his break?
    I know this situation is very unlikely to ever happen, but then again, I've seen other extremely uncommon situations before...

    Thanks in advance!

    It has actually happened on television, funnily enough the one I remember was actually on the green!

    Yes, Player A then continues his turn. The break does not continue from before the foul, of course, because a foul ends the player's turn. It is an unusual situation where the player's break starts with 3 for the green and the second shot of his break is on a red.

      It's amazing how variable the game of snooker is, I can recall watching something similar involving yellow...
      Don't let the fear of losing be greater than the excitement of winning...

          It is just a normal pot, flexo. When he fouled, his turn came to an end. His opponent put him in again so he starts from 'scratch' so to speak. He just carries on with his break as normal.
