Is a 162 possible in snooker?

Answer 1

No. The theoretical maximum is 155. So assuming your opponent fouled the black that would be 7 penalty points. You could come to the table with a free ball awarded and score 1 plus the black which would be 8. Then with a normal maximum clearance of 147 your total scored at the visit your break) would be 155. Your total score would be 155+7 = 162 but this would not be the break as asked in the question.

Answer 2

You cannot get a break of 162 in snooker. You could end up with 162 points though, if you had a large break and you had been awarded points due to fouls by your opponent.

Answer 3

Player A gives player B 159 points in fouls before a ball is potted

Player B then makes a 4 point foul and give player A a free ball.

Player A pots the free ball, a black, 15 reds 15 black and the colours (a super maxium).

Scores are there 159 v 159 and therefore a respotted black is needed.

Player A wins the toss goes first and pots the black.

Therefore a break of 162
