What is third ball to be potted in the sequence of colors in snooker?

Answer 1

It can be any ball colour since the game ends when the difference in points is too big to overcome for the other player. That player will then give up. In the majority of games the decision will only be clear at the end and therefore it will often be either the pink or the black ball that will be potted last.

The last part of the snooker game consists of potting the non-red colored balls in order of their value: yellow (2), green (3), brown (4), blue (5), pink (6) and black (7).

The game is formally over (a) when the final pink is potted and the difference in points between the two players is more than 7 points. In this case the black does not need to be potted and if an attempt to pot it is made and the pot was not in, the game ends formally with the black still on the table, or (b) when the final black ball is potted and the two players do not have the same score (if they do, the black ball will be re-spotted)

Answer 2

The game ends if the black is sunk or fouled on, so it is usually the last ball down. However, any ball can be the last potted, if that pot means the other player/team is incapable of winning at all from that point on.

Answer 3

Hi - the balls are potted in this order - red (other colour after each potted red but go back on their spots), yellow, green, brown, blue, pink, black.

Therefore the black will be the last ball potted as long as the opponent hasn't conceded by then.

Answer 4

None, since you need to pot a red and then another colour and then red in that order. The red ball is worth 1 point, and yellow worth 2, thus 1x3 = 3 and 2x3 = 6, making it impossible.

Red Green Red will give you a 5 point break, as will a Red Brown break.

Answer 5

Here is the order (first to last) yellow, green, brown, blue, pink, black.

Answer 6

After the last red you may pot any available colour - then you move on to the colours in sequence, yellow, green, brown, blue, pink, black.
