Miniature sets also exist, for half-size home tables. Some recreational sets (which are usually not measured metrically) are 2 + 1⁄ 8 in (about 54 mm) up to as large as pool balls, at 2 + 1⁄ 4 in (about 57.2 mm) larger ball size requires wider pocket openings. No weight for the balls is specified in the rules, only that the weight of any two balls should not differ by more than 0.5 g. Regulation snooker balls (which are specified in metric units) are nominally 52.5 mm (approximately 2 + 1⁄ 15 inches) in diameter, though many sets are actually manufactured at 52.4 mm (about 2 + 1⁄ 16 in). Snooker balls, like Billiard balls, are typically made of phenolic resin, and are smaller than American pool balls. The balls used are sometimes also scaled down, and/or reduced in number (in the case of the reds) by omitting the longest row of balls in the rack. These are often around 6 feet (1.8 m) in length, with all the dimensions and markings scaled down accordingly. The cushion at the other end of the table is known as the top cushion.Ī regulation (full-size) table is 12 ft × 6 ft (3.7 m × 1.8 m) because of the large size of these tables, smaller tables are common in homes, pubs and other places where space is limited.
A semicircle of radius 11 + 1⁄ 2 inches (29 cm), called the D, is drawn behind this line, with its centre on the midpoint. A baulk line is drawn across the width of the table, 29 inches (74 cm) from the cushion at one end these two latter items are respectively designated as the baulk cushion and baulk end. The table usually has a slate base, covered in green baize. Snooker is played on a rectangular snooker table with six pockets, one at each corner and one in the middle of each long side. The number of frames is always odd so as to prevent a tie or a draw. A player (or team) wins a match when they have achieved the best-of score from a pre-determined number of frames. A player (or team) wins a frame (individual game) of snooker by scoring more points than the opponent(s), using the cue ball to pot the red and coloured balls. It is played using a cue and snooker balls: one white cue ball, 15 red balls worth one point each (the game is sometimes played with fewer red balls, commonly 6 or 10), and six balls of different colours: yellow (2 points), green (3), brown (4), blue (5), pink (6), black (7). Snooker is a cue sport that is played on a baize-covered table with pockets in each of the four corners and in the middle of each of the long side cushions. Snooker table, drawn to scale, with starting positions of all object balls and the cue ball placed within the "D" for a break-off shot.
