Snooker

John Higgins is the current World Snooker champion in May 2011. February 2012 it is John Higgins.

The standard number in a set of snooker balls is 21 - 15 reds and six colours. In 'toy' snooker tables, the reds are usually reduced to 10.

As the game would finish level, the black would be re-spotted and the person to pot it first wins.

A free ball in snooker is a ball that is elected by the incoming player to take the place of a ball that is legal to shoot, or "on".

The reason for this election is that the opponent fouled, and left the incoming player "snookered" on every ball on.

The free ball can be any ball on the table, and will be scored with the value of the ball it replaces. Any colored ball pocketed as a free ball will be respotted as usual.

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.

Thank would very much depend on the condition, size and the location of your pool table. 1. Condition Well if it's missing more than a leg and every ball you've got is rolling down in a particular direction, it will typically raise several question that begins with "why... is this broken?" 2. Size Assuming you've gotten yourself a pool table that does not cost anything close to a standard pool table we'd find in pubs, virutally endless number of questions can arise out of it, beginning with "wtf is this is a pool table" to "how am I going to hit a ball at this size". 3. Location Rather than looking at a pool table's size and condition, most people would have question about its location more than anything else. Anything from "but isn't this is swimming pool...?" to "How to..... play.... can't breathe.... no oxygen..?" So all in all, since even an ordinary pool table in perfect condition, size and location can have a question: "why isn't anyone playing on it...?", I'd say the answer to your question is: from 1 to infinity.

If you hit 14 reds and 14 yellows your score would be 42. There is now only 1 red left and hence there is 35 left on the table and thus a winning score. In theory though, the opponent can carry on playing hoping to get a snooker. So the lowest score in which it is impossible to do this would be 15 reds potted with no color plus the colors up to the pink which is 21 and thus 36 is the very lowest possible score to win without the opponent being able to win in any circumstance.

So he doesn't get their finger prints on the snooker balls when he replaces them, this is so they don't get sweaty or greasy hands on the ball. Also so they can clean them when they are asked to.

A sport is an activity in which mind and body are challenged. They must score at least 5 points on average in the "sport" and they must involve direct competition through a race score or any other way that does not involve a judge(s) to determine a winner. The winner is determined by skill and can be measured and not based on a judge's opinion.

He is one of the most naturally gifted snooker players in the world. He enjoys the sport when he is winning and hates it when he is losing.

red, yellow, green, brown, blue, pink and black

Depends how big the garage is! Chances are it WILL fit but there wont be enough room around the sides to play shots

Nobody is entirely sure of the names or exact dates of it's conception, but snooker was invented roughly in 1820 or so. It is believed it was created by a group of Englishmen whilst in India.

Snooker originated from the game Billiards, a similar sport, (but traditionally played on a table comprising of zero pockets, and merely three balls).

Snooker balls were originally formed from ivory, and the game was an instant success with the upper classes following it's introduction in England.

147 is the highest break but technically a 155 break is possible. Fouls do not contribute towards breaks. However, if an opponent fouls and the player is awarded a free ball which is taken with a black then 15 reds 15 blacks and the 6 colours, will give 155.

It is international, but most players still come from a small range of countries, so in many countries it would not be famous. It is growing though and the spread of players is becoming larger, particularly in Asia.

There is no such thing as a best tip. The best size and type of tip depends upon the player, and this is part of fine tuning your game for the very experienced player. The tip that comes with your cue is the best one for you until experience builds.

Snooker balls do not change size based on table size. Just purchase regulation balls.

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.

I suspect that this is a "generated" question.

In snooker, you may score points in two ways...potting balls, and collecting points from an opponents foul.

The maximum available points from potting balls is seems to be 147, but with election of free balls could theoretically go higher.

The maximum available points from opponents foul penalty strokes is unlimited.

The answer is 0. You could theoretically pot no balls, but continually hook your opponent until you are so far ahead in points that he concedes.
