How do you score 12 in one shot in snooker?
The only way is if you pot 12 reds at once. Anything else would be a foul shot.
In snooker Do any reds have to hit the cushion from the break and if so how many?
No. All that has to happen at the breakoff (the first shot) is for the cueball to hit a red first.
What is a snooker table trap called?
If, when playing snooker, you leave you opponent in such a position that he has no legal direct shot to a ball and must curve the cue ball or play a rebound from a cushion, this is called being 'snookered'.
How many points can you score off the black ball in snooker?
The minimum number of strokes required to make a 147 break in a snooker is 15 reds, 15 blacks, 1 yellow, 1 brown, 1 green, 1 blue, 1 pink, and 1 black. So, in theory, 36 shots are needed. However, if you include the initial break-off shot, which nothing would be potted, then the total shots by both players would be 37.
How many red balls potted from one shot in snooker?
All of them could be, but it is rare to even see two being potted in a game. It is not to the advantage of a player to do so. In fact it is a disadvantage. After potting a red, the get to choose a colour to go for, and if they get it they can go for another red. However, if they pot more than one red in one shot, they still only get to go for one colour in the next shot before having to again try for a red.
In Snooker on a free ball you pot all 15 reds in one shot How many points is scored?
I assume you are referring to potting a free ball then black, then 15 reds with blacks and then all the colours. In this situtation the break would be a 155.
What is the opening shot in snooker called?

Do you get a free shot in pool snooker?

How many points are awarde if two reds are potted in one shot in snooker?
ONE 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.
What is the highest possible score in one shot in snooker?
The question as phrased does not limit the points to one break. At the end of a frame, with the addition of various fouls and free balls, the total SCORE for a player, can be higher than 162(the 155 maximum break and the 7 points received for the opponent hitting/potting the black when playing a red). This score could include various foul shots and other breaks. In theory there is no limit to the amount someone can score in a break of snooker. It would depend on the relative playing skills of the two players. A very good player might get a very high score (multiple snookers, foul shots, breaks) against a poor opponent. If a player begins with a foul shot and leaves the opponent snookered on all reds, the opponent then may select a 'free ball'. They may then pot it as a red and then pot the black, then reds and blacks, and all the colours. Their break would be 155 .This is the maximum BREAK in snooker.
