Ok We Had Fun With The Last Snooker Conundrum.......

[ToraToraTora]

How can a player pot the yellow three times in a row? no fouls by the player concerned.

[Jackdaw33]

When he is on the colours he can pot any colour as many times as he chooses.

[nescio]

opponent fouls on last red, potting it in the process. You then choose yellow as a free ball (for the last red), pot it, then choose yellow and pot it again, then start with yellow to clear the colours.

[THECORBYLOON]

Player A commits a foul and leaves Player B snookered on the one remaining Red.

Player B nominates the Yellow as the Red, pots it and the actual Red.

He then pots the Yellow as a Colour after a Red and pots it again as the first of the remaining Colours.

[bhg481]

Snookered on the last red after a foul so pots the yellow as a red, then the yellow as a colour, which is re-spotted then potted as the first colour/.

[ToraToraTora]

JD, err no the colours are potted in order.

Nescio - on the right lines but the red needs to stay up, see TCL's answer.

TCL: Bang on. You are pretty good at these, do you have one of your own?

[ToraToraTora]

bhg, nearly but the red needs to be potted at the same time as the yellow(as a red). Which would count 2, 1 for the red and 1 for the yellow (as a red)

[THECORBYLOON]

BHG, in your scenario the Red is on the table still and would need to be potted before the Yellow.

Eh?

//opponent fouls on last red, potting it in the process. You then choose yellow as a free ball (for the last red), pot it, then choose yellow and pot it again, then start with yellow to clear the colours.//

If the opponent fouls on the last red and pots it, when his opponent comes to the table the ball "on" will be yellow. The last red is gone and reds are not respotted (except in very rare circumstances not appropriate here).

Here's a way, perhaps. Player fouls on the last red but leaves it on the table, snookering his opponent on it thus leaving a free ball. Opponent nominates yellow as free ball, pots it (as a red) and pots the remaining red with the same shot (scores two). The yellow is respotted. It is then potted again as the colour following the "red" (which was the yellow). It is again respotted. The yellow is now the first of the six remaining colours and is potted again.



The player must foul on the last red without potting it, leaving his opponent snookered on it, thus a free ball. His opponent nominates yellow

^^^Scrub the last three lines !!!

[ToraToraTora]

judge TCL described it above.

[New Judge]

Sorry Tora. It was posted whilst I was "composing" !

[ToraToraTora]

ok still trying to find the answer to this one. Normally when a player pots the pink and is >7 points ahead he can choose to leave the black (unless it's to add to a big break) and have the frame awarded. Now I assume that's because the convention is that the opponent has no way of getting a snooker in effect concedes but could the opponent demand he plays on, if, for example, he is angled after potting the pink and cannot actually hit the black and thus could well foul? I can't find any answer but I think that probably, yes the opponent could demand he takes the shot.

[bhg481]

TCL - yes, I see. You are potting the snookered red at the same time as the yellow nominated to be a red (2 balls potted in one stroke) and gets rid of the last red, which I had overlooked.
My excuse is that I haven't actually played snooker for about 60 years.

[New Judge]

Only one foul can be committed on the black. Then it's frame over.

[ToraToraTora]

I'm not talking about fouls on the black judge, can the player who is 8 points up with the black left be forced to have a shot at the black??

[bhg481]

If he does he gives 7 points away and ends the game, still leaving him 1 point ahead.

[New Judge]

//I'm not talking about fouls on the black judge, can the player who is 8 points up with the black left be forced to have a shot at the black??//

What would be the point?

[ToraToraTora]

please read my description at 13:14, if player A having potted the pink is 8 points up but ANGLED (snookered by a jaw of the pocket) on the black after the cue ball comes to rest, can he be forced to attempt the black?

[THECORBYLOON]

"1. Frame
A frame of snooker comprises the period of play from the start (see Section 3 Rule 3(c)), each player playing in turn until the frame is
completed by:
...
(b) a claim by the striker, when Black is the only object ball remaining on the table, aggregate points are not relevant, and there is a difference of more than seven points between the scores in the striker’s favour;
..."

Unless it was a match where aggregate points are used to decide the outcome.
