Right I know what the total rule in a snooker is but we've got all the world rules laminated in our pub to help people who don't know the rules... The total rule as it is written is very confusing and unclear in my opinion and made me doubt it myself lol... It says under "Snookers" - "A player is snookered when it is impossible to play the finest cut possible on both sides of any of that players own colour by way of a "straight-line shot" should it not say either rather than both? Just interested let me know what you think

For me it makes if sound like the foul snooker rule where you have to see both sides of the ball...

Just interested let me know what you think It's the way they word it, but if you think of it as the rule is asking a question..... ie. Can you see that side? No. Can you see this side? No Then total is called Then the statement of 'both' sides is correct A foul snooker is both extremes, not sides. The closer the cue ball and object ball, the extremes get closer together..

Just interested let me know what you think it can be a bit confusing the way it is worded, but you need to think that where the rules refer to "snookers" it is always as applied to judge foul snookers. This separate definition is required and can't just be called "foul snookers" because obviously you can be snookered as described (can't hit both sides with finest cut etc) but after a legal shot, so no foul snooker exists. Total snookers are completely different, and are always referred to as "total snookers", not just "snookers" and are defined in rule G (3) So, you can be snookered many times in a frame (can't hit both sides with finest cut etc) but only sometimes will it also be a "total snooker" (if you also can't hit any part of your ball etc) or a "foul snooker" if it is after a foul. Hope that helps!
