Gonna play Snooker for the 1st time today. Played Pool before so I kinda know a bit of what's going on basically.
But I tried reading up on the rules for Snooker and they are complicated as hell. Especially the scoring system. So I wanted to clarify some stuff.
Is it that the brown ball worth 3 points and the green ball worth 4 points or is it vice versa?
If I pot my cue along with the red ball, do I get a -3 pts (red 1 pt and cue -4pts) or -4 pts (cue -4pts)?
If my "on" ball is red and I hit say, a black. Is it -4 pts (misc offence -4 pts) or -7 pts (black worth 7 pts)?
If my "on" ball is say yellow (2 pts) and I hit say, a blue. Is it -4 pts (yellow 2 pts but min 4 pts) or -5 pts (blue worth 5 pts)?
Is hitting a red to make that red pot another red counted as potting a red and worth 1 pt?
When all the reds are gone, everybody must hit the balls in order (yellow, green/brown, green/brown, blue, pink, black) without the option to choose which ball to hit?
I'm currently still working so I can spend this 10 mins typing this but I don't have time to spend 1 hr trying to comprehend the rules on sites and wiki.
