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

According to my Dad (snooker addict) it's a legal shot and you would receive the appropriate points for the pot.
It's only a foul when the ball leaves the table completely

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.

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)

Who 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 there

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
