How do you use a score board in snooker?
Similar to pool, snooker is a table top game with generally easy rules. Scoring is broken down by ball color. When one sinks or "pots" a colored ball via the white cue ball points are allocated accordingly. Red balls are worth one point, yellow 2, green 3, brown 4, blue 5, pink 6, and black 7. The winner is determined once all the balls have been potted and points are added up, highest score wins!

What year did Kirk Stevens do a 147 in snooker on tv?
Canadian snooker player Kirk Stevens hit a televised maximum break of 147 in the Benson & Hedges Masters in 1984, against Jimmy White - the only such break in the competition until match by Ding Junhui in 2007.
The basic concept is, you use your cue to pot one red ball followed by a colored ball, followed by a red, followed by a color and so on. The colors are replaced on their spots if they are potted. Once all the reds are potted you have to pot the colors in the order, yellow, green, brown, blue, pink then black. Play continues until all balls are cleared or you or your opponent concede the frame.
A red is worth 1, yellow 2, green 3, brown 4, blue 5, pink 6 and black 7.
If you try to hit a ball and miss the penalty is 4 points, unless it was a blue, pink or black, in which case the penalty is 5,6 and 7 respectively, given to your opponent. If you hit a ball which you were not meant to it is the same as a miss.
How do you level a snooker table cloth?
The floor is first leveled, if necessary. As the table is assembled, a long and a short level are used for the important surfaces. When the slate is laid on the table, the levels are again used as the slate is fastened, with very small shims used to level the slate. After the slate is fully tightened and finished, the level is checked. The level of effort required to level the table surface depends upon the quality of the table and proper assembly.

How do you you use a snooker cue?
Clamp your cue on a flat surface with the bend going up, then apply controlled heat to warp it back straight. There is two ways that your cue has warped, one being dampness. As the damp gets into the cue the wood softens and bends, when it dries out the cue stays bent. Or the cue is exposed to a hot temperature, eg in a worm car boot also leaning it against a radiator.

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.
