Snooker’s Purpose

When it comes to snooker rules, there is just one goal. In each frame, the goal is to score more snooker ball points than your opponent (an individual game unit).

Players achieve this goal by firing the white cue ball at the other coloured balls in a predetermined order in order to place them in the table pockets.

Color Order in Snooker Rules

  • The coloured balls are put in the following order:
  • 15 reds must be arranged in a triangle pattern behind the pink ball, with one red at the point.
  • From left to right, the green, brown, and yellow go on their baulk line points across the semi-circle.
  • The blue ball should be placed in the centre of the table.
  • Between there and the top cushion, the pink sits in the middle (the opposite end to the baulk cushion).
  • The black must be placed in the centre of the room (1234 inches away from the top cushion).
