Key Rules
Match Format
The general rules of snooker apply except:
- Each match consists of one frame lasting 900 seconds (15 minutes).
- At the end of the 15 minutes, the player with most points wins.
- If, at the end of the 15 minutes there is a tie, the players take turns with ball in hand in the “D” and try to pot the blue ball in a top corner pocket. The first make the pot wins.
- A 20-second shot clock, starting when the cue ball comes to rest, is enforced for each shot. Failing to play a shot within the 20 seconds is a foul.
- Players must either pot a ball or ensure that a ball touches a cushion, at some point during every shot. Failure to do so is a foul.
- If a player commits a foul, the opponent is awarded ball in hand anywhere on the table
