P. Snookers.
- Definition: A player is Snookered when it
is impossible to play the finest cut possible on both sides of any of that
player's own Colour by way of a straight-line shot. Snookering an opponent
is not a foul.
- A player cannot be Snookered by a ball of
the player's own Colour. That is, if one of the player's own coloured group
is an obstructing ball, it will be ignored for the purposes of determining a
Snooker.
- A player cannot be Snookered on an Object
Ball if the Cue Ball is touching that Object Ball.
- A player cannot be Snookered by the
straight sections of the cushions. If a straight section of a cushion is
preventing the finest possible cut on the side of an Object Ball, that
section of cushion will be deemed not to exist for the purposes of
determining a Snooker on that Object Ball.
- If an Object Ball is partly obscured by a
curved section (Jaw), this in itself does not constitute a Snooker.
