Breaks
will be alternate following the toss of a coin before the first frame.
At
least 4 balls, other than the white, must make contact with a cushion or a ball
must be potted. Penalty for foul break is 2 visits
1.
If
the white is potted from the break it is a one shot foul
2.
If
the black is potted from the break it is a re-break by the same player – no
penalty
3.
If
no ball is potted from the break it is an open table to the oncoming player
4.
If
a red or yellow is potted from the break, the player making the break shot must
nominate which colour he/she wishes to play
5.
If
a player pots a red from the break and then nominates red, the player remains
on red
6.
If
a player pots a red from the break and then nominates yellow, the player must
then pot a yellow to remain on yellows
7.
If
a player pots a red from the break, nominates yellows and then does not pot a
yellow then the oncoming player has an open table.
(note: for points 5,6 & 7 if a yellow is potted
the same rules apply)
At
each visit to the table a player must either:
a.
pot
a ball or
b.
cause
any ball to hit a cushion after the white has made contact
All
fouls result in two visits to the opponent except:
a.
White
in-off break
b.
Opponents
ball falling in pocket without being hit
These
two fouls are a one visit foul (for point b, the ball falling in would be
replaced over the same pocket)
After
a foul the player in control cannot have ‘cue ball in hand’ and MUST play a
ball from their nominated group (unless a Foul Snooker situation applies or
he/she wishes to play a Deliberate Foul)
A
deliberate foul can be played at any time without losing the frame. An example
of this is if a player is on yellows and a red is blocking a pocket the player wishes
to have control of, the player can pot the red either directly or by planting
another ball onto the red. A player can also strike the cue ball without
contacting another ball. A player can also play the black ball but cannot pot
the black or he/she will lose the frame. If a deliberate foul is played 2
visits are awarded to the opponent.
a.
Total snooker
Not being able to directly hit any part of a ball, in a straight line shot (ie
without swerving or coming off a cushion, of the players own group. The player
will ask the referee for a ‘Total Snooker’. When a total snooker is given, the
player does not have to contact a cushion after making contact
b.
Foul snooker
Following a foul, a player is unable to hit either side of one of their
own group of balls. The player will ask the referee for a foul snooker. When a
foul snooker is given, the player may either move the white behind the string
line or nominate a specific ball of their opponents group of balls.
Push shots &
Touching Ball
A push shot ‘foul’ can only be given if it can
be clearly seen that the cue pushes the white along such as a touching ball
situation where a player MUST play away from the ball the white is in contact
with or if the cue strikes the white twice. If there is any doubt, a push shot
foul is not awarded. If a touching ball is awarded the cue ball must hit a
cushion or cause another object ball to hit a cushion or a foul will be
awarded.
