Snooker

1. Alternate between potting a red (1 point) and a nominated colour (2 to 7 points) while reds remain.
2. Potted colours return to their original spots until all fifteen reds are cleared.
3. After the final red and following colour, pot the colours in ascending order: yellow, green, brown, blue, pink, black.
4. A legal strike must first hit a ball on: a red on a red turn, or the nominated colour on a colour turn.
5. Fouls award 4 to 7 penalty points to the opponent based on the balls involved.
6. After a foul, the incoming player may accept the table, pass the shot back, or play from within the D if cue ball was pocketed.
7. The player with the highest score when the final black is potted or the frame is conceded wins.
