Snooker is a cue sport played on a rectangular table covered with a green cloth called baize,with six pockets,one at each corner and one in the middle of each long side.

Using a cue stick,the individual players or teams take turns to strike the white cue ball to pot other balls in a predefined sequence,accumulating points for each successful pot and for each time the opposing player or team commits a foul. An individual frame of snooker is won by the player who has scored the most points. A snooker match ends when a player reaches a predetermined number of frames.
