Know them all already? Try these questions:-
1You are at the table (in control) and a ball falls in without being hit. If opponents ball is it:- A) Foul two visits, B) Foul one visit, C) No penalty What if it is your own ball or the black? Opponents ball - Foul one visit, Own ball - No penalty, Black - No penalty, black is replaced as close as possible to where it was
2A player leaves his chalk on the table while taking his shots - is this a foul? No, but the ref will ensure that it is removed. If the player repeatedly leaves it there, the ref may award the frame away for breach of the spirit of the game
3What is the difference between a snooker and a total snooker? In a snooker, a player cannot play the finest cut on both sides of any of his colour by way of a straight line shot, in a total snooker, a player cannot play any part of any of his own colour
4A player has the white ball in hand, he places it directly on the baulk line and plays a shot - is this a foul? Yes! The centre of the white must be behind the line
