In snooker if a red rolls along the rail then into a pocket does it count?
Question:What I mean is if a red ball leaves the table lands on top of the cushion, where the cushion joins the wood, rolls along and falls into a pocket does it count as a point to the striker or as a foul to the opponent? I know the cue ball counts as a foul if you play a jump shot in any way I was just wandering about the other balls.
Thanks
Simon

It's only a foul when the ball leaves the table completely

Yes, as long as the ball stays on the table no problemWhen Do You Put up your above ground pool?
That would be a foul, as the red has left the table. Anyway, to do as you describe, the ball would have to ignore Newton's Laws, unless there was something sitting on the edge of the table to change its direction of motion - have you ever seen it happen?Is it possible to tie in snooker?
no it doesn,t count any time a ball leaves the table whether it is all the way or on top of the rail it is considered a scratchAnybody ever played in the US Amateur?
As told by two people already, as long as the ball ends up in the pocket unassisted it is legal.One of my sons question for homework is find out the keys in snooker help me?
Only if thats the object ball at the time. If ur on a red at the time then its ok but if ur on a colour then its a foul.its four away as the ball leaves the table
It is a perfectly legal shot. As long as the object ball does not leave the table and goes in unassisted then it isn't a foul according to the rules of the game.
Why isnt pool loading up for me?
i played jimmy white once and he hit a ball so hard into middle bag it jumped up and rolled down to bottom pocket and went in,,the referee called a foul as the ball had hit the wooden part of the table,if it had stopped on the baize of the cusion it would have been legalWhat is the radius of holes (corner + side)on billiard tables slate?
If it touches the wood it is a foul. If it rolls on the felt only, even if it jumps up and rolls on top of the cushion for a distance, it is legal.Jumping the cue ball incorrectly is a foul, but causing the red to jump is not a foul; in fact it is fairly impressive.
Why did i get fined for peeing in the pool?
It counts as a pot.The rail is considered part of the table.Have seen it happen several times.I need a good cue , what should I look for ?
Landing on top of the cushion is also leaving the table, which is a foul. Sliding through the cushion depends on the type of table. (i.e. your table is crude and there is a slit so the ball may roll)Why can't i get into any of the yahoo pool rooms anymore?
Yes, as long as it doesnt leave the table, its a valid shot.yes
I own a pool cue that was made in sf ca. sometime in the70's. it has a picture of Jim remmi on it .?

Which is the best que to play snooker?
My vote is also that it counts for a point and is not a foulWho would win between Monsconi & Reyes (8-ball, straight pool and 9-ball)?
since there is such a thing as overrides on rules or House rules... it is best to know what those House rules are. I was once fouled by the referee for my tie rubbing against the ball we played very strict rules where I grew up and the House rule was that if any ball but the cue Left the surface of the table during a shot that is any ball hit initially by the cue it was a foul with ball in hand anywhere on the table... that was to teach that strength has little to do with fine shooting. finesse wins every time... so check it out before you start to know what the House rules are.. in most situations ...yes.. that shoot counts just don't bet a lot of money on it until you know all the idiosyncrasies of the house rules glad to see there are still some snooker players out thereAs long as the red doesnt touch the floor its ok. SILVINO FRANCISCO done it once am giving my age away:-)
Should I go for the easy pink or the tight brown?
yes it does count as a legal pot and will give you one. it also counts even it is a color ball as long as the ball doesnt fall out of the table completely.The jump Shot:
-it is legal to perform a jump shot in snooker, if and only if the player plays the shot and does not intend to avoid a certain ball in his/her path.
-it is illegal when the player plays a shot and it turns out to be a jump shot and jump over one or more balls, even the player doesnt intend to do it.
hope this help
