How many points do you get if you pot all the colours excluding red in a game of snooker?

The colours have the following value
Yellow - 2
Green - 3
Brown - 4
Blue - 5
Pink - 6
Black - 7
The last red has to be potted before starting on the colours.
27 is the value of the colours potted in order without missing one.
The highest score is normally considered as 147 (potting all 15 reds followed by a black on every red and then the colours) but it is possible to score more than this if your first shot is due to a foul by your opponent.

∙ 15y agoONE point is scored for each red potted on a single stroke, therefore two points would be scored if two reds are potted in one shot (You could pot all fifteen reds and receive fifteen points, although I would not recommend it - see later) The exception to this would be in the case of a free ball being awarded. If a player fouls and leaves his opponent snookered, the referee awards the incoming player a 'free ball'. This means they can nominate a colour as a red (value one point, whatever the colour) and pot it as one would a red, following it with a colour etc. The difference is that if the player were to pot the 'free ball' (as a red) and ANOTHER red in the same stroke, he would only receive ONE point for the ball on, in this case the 'free ball'. He may also use the 'free ball' to pot ANOTHER red in a cannon, thereby receiving one point, as the potted red would also be a ball that was 'on' (an object ball). Any 'free ball' is re-spotted after potting as the colours stay on the table until all the reds are gone. It's actually a disadvantage to the player in stroke to pot more than one red at a time, as by doing so, he robs himself of points that could have been made with an accompanying colour. I once saw the inimitable Alex Higgins make a three red combination in a championship match in which the balls were at least a foot apart. I also once saw FOUR reds potted in a single shot and it was not a trick shot. I hope this answers your question.

Have there always been only 6 color balls in snooker?
The problem with answering this question is that the transition from Billiard to Snooker is a gradual one - so whilst games existed with less than six balls it is unclear whether we can call this snooker. In its earliest form Snooker was a combination of two Pool type games - Life Pool and Pyramid Pool. The red balls come from pyramid pool, and the first colour, the black ball, from life pool. Three other colours were added a little later, the set being completed with the introduction of the brown and blue. The inclusion of these initial colours was first proposed in 1875 - dates for the inclusion of the brown and blue are unknown. It is unclear how well received or widespread these initial alterations were, but by 1882 the rules were standardised for a new game known as Snooker, with all six coloured balls included. One notable exception to the regular 6 coloured balls is Snooker Plus, a variation of the six-ball game invented by World Championship winner Joe Davis. The game introduced an orange ball (worth eight points) and a purple ball (worth ten points), to make a total of eight coloured balls, in an attempt to reinvigorate the game. However, the concept didn't catch on and Snooker Plus is now widely obsolete
