Snooker
The game of snooker is a table sport that is similar to the popular game of billiards. This game is actually a variation to the other table game and it is characterized by the numerous red balls that are used in the game play. Snooker is a game that consists of 15 red snooker balls and six snooker balls of different colors, namely yellow, green, brown, blue, pink and black. There is also one cue ball in the typical white color.
The objective of the game, according to snooker rules, is to get the highest score in the game by following a certain pattern when you play snooker. The pattern that a player follows starts with a red ball, then a different colored ball and so on and so forth.
A player can only target a colored ball that carries a higher point than the red balls, which incidentally carry one point each, after he or she successfully pockets a red ball first. The points of the other colored balls range between 2 to 7. After a different colored ball is sunk into a pocket, the next target is another red ball. The colored ball that was pocketed will be returned to its original spot until all red balls are sunk. Only then will the players have a chance to sink the different colored snooker balls into the pockets successively.
This sport is pretty popular in Europe and Asia where there are numerous snooker clubs. Fans of the sport often watch BBC snooker matches on television or snooker video snippets online. They keep a close watch on the snooker score board to see which of the snooker greats are winning and losing.
