World Snooker Shoot-Out preview
Shoot-Out event breaks the rules! Revolution baby! :-)) |
Many of you know what this event is all about, so I will just points out the main rules and get on with the schedule so you can make your agenda for the next three days, ok ? :-)))
Things you should know about Snooker Snoot-Out:
- one frame knock-out
- random draw
- world`s best 64 players
- the action is played on one table and one table only so you won’t miss anything at all
- each frame will last 10 minutes
- we have a shot-clock people! 20 seconds per shot in the first five minutes of the frame and 15 seconds per shot in the last five.
- if a player commits a foul then the opponent is granted ball in hand
- players must hit a cushion (with the cue ball or the object ball), or pot a ball each time they perform a shot
- players "lag" for who breaks (meaning that the players will hit a ball long ways to the opposite end of the table and who gets the ball closest to the opposite rail plays first)
- in case of a tie the "Blue ball" shoot out will be performed (winner of “lag” decides who goes first)
- lots of fun- lots of "why are they doing that?"
- lot of "aww, is that over? so soon?" :-)))
Kidding, but is going to be lots of fun! :-)
