Snooker is a cue sport played on a rectangular table covered with green cloth, known as baize, with six pockets. The game involves using a cue to hit a white ball, called the cue ball, to strike other balls in a specific order. The objective is to score points by potting the colored balls, which have different point values, as well as the red balls, which are worth one point each. Players take turns, and the game requires skill in aiming, strategy, and precision. Snooker is typically played by two players or two teams, and it can also be played in competitive formats such as tournaments. The rules of snooker are governed by the World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association (WPBSA). The game is known for its tactical depth and the psychological battle between competitors, making it a popular sport worldwide, particularly in the United Kingdom and other countries.
