Snooker

Snooker is a cue sport that is played on a large baize-covered table with pockets in each of the four corners and in the middle of each of the long side cushions. A regulation (full-size) table is 12 ft × 6 ft (3.6 m x 1.8 m).It is played using a cue and snooker balls (one white cue ball, 15 red balls and six balls of different colors yellow, green, brown, blue, pink, and black). A player wins a frame of snooker by scoring more points than the opponent , using the cue ball to pot the red and coloured balls. A player wins a match when a certain number of frames have been won. Snooker is particularly popular in many of the English-speaking and Commonwealth countries, and in China, with the top professional players attaining multi-million pound career earnings from the game.
