Snooker is like a big version of pool...

Snooker is played on a 12 foot by 6 foot table. The table is set up as in the picture - the numbers are the value of the balls. The potting sequence is a red followed by a colour (yellow, green, brown, blue, pink or black) - a potted red stays in the pocket while a colour goes back on its spot. After the last red and colour is potted the colours are potted in order - yellow through to black - this time they stay in the pocket. Whoever has the most points wins the frame. If there is no direct path to the ball you have to hit you are "snookered" - I think the pool equivalent is "behind the 8 ball". Hope that helps :)

Now I feel like a jerk. I know what it is and was just "trying" to be funny but I failed you. Sorry. But thank you :)

You're fine. It's the law of averages. I just assumed snooker wasn't that well known in the US that's all :)

It's fine I assumed you were from the USA lol

I'm from the UK which is why I know of snooker. These two (plus Kirk Stevens) if probably why you know of snooker. Although funnily enough the theme tune used for the snooker here was written by an American - it's called "Drag Racer" by The Doug Wood Band.

I used to watch it on tv along with darts "I'm a wild and crazy guy" lol
