Category: Snooker

Snooker is a cue sport that is played on a table with 15 red balls worth one point each and a variety of colored balls worth different amounts of points. The objective of the game is to score the highest number of points possible by potting (pocketing) balls in a specific order. Points are scored by hitting the balls with a white ball, which is played from the “D” or “baulk” area at the beginning of each shot. The game is typically played between two players, but can also be played in teams. Snooker is popular in many countries, including the UK, India, and China.
