Snooker 9 ball is a game invented by the author P.J.Darnbrough who invented colour coded pockets for Big Break starring Jim Davidson. It was a hugely successful show and this new game has come about after the colour coded pockets needed a new game to show off its attributes.

Description
Snooker 9 ball is a new game designed to please both the snooker and pool player. It covers all the rules of normal snooker and comprises 9 new rules to make a difference . Instead of 15 reds which are used in snooker, this game uses only 9 reds, plus all the colours which are then all lined up in the triangle. To accomodate the change, the balls have to be set up in a particular pattern in the triangle, as previously described. There is also the added bonus of the player who breaks off first also has the next shot, unless a foul has been committed. He or she can then go for a red unless a red or more has been potted off the break, in which case he/she would go for a colour. The object of the game is to score more points than your opponent. The maximum score when all the balls are potted would be 189 points total. That would mean potting all the colours in their respective pockets to gain double points. All the colours have points scores as follows: yellow 2 green 3 brown 4 blue 5 pink 6 black 7. These are all the normal points as in snooker.The reds count as one point. When a colour is potted in its own coloured pocket, the score is doubled. It is suggested that a pool cue is used for the break-off shot as it could damage a snooker cue, also the break-off shot should be aggressive as to smash the balls all over the table to make it more fun. If the table is not yet up to date with colour coded pockets, one can use coloured tape to stick on the pocket surrounds. The colour coded pockets have been strategically placed so as not to detract from the game of snooker, but will add a new dimension to the game especially the commentators, as all the pockets have names, whereas before only the yellow and green pockets were highlighted. A point of interest is that; all the pocket totals add up to 27, and all the colour coded pockets opposite each other add up to 9, one side of the table is EVENS and adds up to 12, and on the other side is ODDS and adds up to 15, which equals 27. On the evens side are yellow2, brown4, pink6, =12 On the odds side are ; green 3, blue 5, black 7, =15
