Best Answer

A foul on the white, red, yellow, green or brown awards 4 points to your opponent, a foul on the blue, pink or black awards 5, 6 or 7 points respectively, play then passes to your opponent unless the ref calls a miss then the white is reset and you try again.

You cannot not attempt to get out of a snooker. If you deliberately hit another ball that you are not meant to hit, it is a foul. If you make no effort to hit the ball a miss may be declared. You then concede points and then have to retake the shot. The "miss" rule was introduced to stop players deliberately fouling. Now they have to take it over and over, conceding points every time, instead of once and allowing their opponent back to the table. Depending on the nature of the foul either 4, 5, 6 or 7 points will be conceded.
