 | Snooker is a billiards sport that is played on a large (12 feet × 6 feet) baize-covered table with pockets in each of the four corners and in the middle of each of the long side cushions. |
 | Snooker is played on a rectangular table, 6 feet by 12 feet (about 1.83m by 3.66m), with six pockets, one at each corner and one in the middle of each long side. |
 | Since players receive points for fouls by their opponents, snookering your opponent a number of times in a row is a possible way of winning a frame when potting all the balls on the table would be insufficient for you to win. |
