Special Rules

1. Miss when Snookered

A Miss will be called if:

(i) the striker fails to hit a ball ON unless totally snookered on all balls ON

or

(ii) the striker miscues (at any time) and fails to hit a ball ON

or

(iii) the striker fails to make a genuine attempt to hit a ball ON when totally snookered. Should this happen, the striker will be warned that a repetition will result in loss of frame.

The normal snooker rule of loss of frame applies should three misses occur when any ball ON can be seen full in the face (warning has to be given after the second miss).

2. End of Frame

On the colours, if the striker needs more than three snookers (four snookers if a free ball has been awarded) to tie at any stage, a frame is over and play must cease immediately [e.g. 38 up on the green].
