I really enjoy the game of snooker and I am a young player of 14. I would now like to
become an amateur snooker player and then hopefully a professional. How would I go
about doing this ?

I played a game in Florida some years ago and have forgotten the rules. The far
two end pockets had values of 3 and 5, the centre side pockets 15 and 10, and
the nearest end pockets a value of 1 and 2. Any ball pocketed was scored according
to the pocket value. A score of 101 wins. A score of 102 takes you back to 0. I think
only the 10 ball can be pocketed in the designated #10 side pocket and the same for
the 15 ball and #15 pocket. Can you send me the name and any missing rules. Thanks

I need help with my game - I just seem to be inconsistent If I play on my own.
I seem to get frustrated and will miss pots that are over the pockets. When playing
against another person I seem to play as well as I need to. My highest break is 46
and I think it should be higher, how can my game change so drastically ?
( Its as though when I am playing well I see the pot so clear, long pots seem closer
to the pockets, and near pots seem difficult, further away ! If that makes sense )

I'd like to find a full set of (22) Ivory snooker balls. If I find a set outside of
Canada I would need full details so I can negotiate with customs, as Ivory
is allowed into Canada only with special permission.

My father-in-law has recently refurbished a strange looking mahogany table
and is interested in knowing about the game for which it was designed.
The table is suspected to have been built in the early 1900's.
It measures 2000mm x 1500mm and features four pockets. Two are at either end
of one 2000mm side, however the other two are set in 308mm from each end of
the opposite 2000mm side. Can you help please?

I have heard somewhere that fine sandpaper should be used to roughen the tip so that
it holds the chalk and also to mould it to the correct shape. Is this true and are there
any other pointers you can give me with reference to keeping the tip in good condition.

What is the free ball rule when player 1 has fouled and there are reds left on the table.
If all the reds left on the table cannot be hit on both sides, not because player 2 does
not have a clear sight of reds unobscured by colours, but because two or more of the
reds are either touching each other or close to each other. Is this a free ball or not ?

I have a friend who has an interesting score board and was wondering if anyone could
help to explain how it works.
On the left hand side there are sliders which uncover a single star, while on the
right hand side, again under a slider which can be moved across there are three stars
which can be uncovered. I cannot remember how many rows of these there are, but I
would guess at ten. This scoreboard came with the table which was made in Australia
in the early part of the 1900's.
Any insight's into how this works with the full sized billiards table would be welcomed.

I have owned a burwat champion cue for many years. It is 50 years old or more.
It is 54 inches long, 17oz in weight and with a 9.5mm tip. It has a name plate on
the bottom with the reg number. Is it worth anything ?

The scores are level in a frame of snooker with only the black remaining.
A foul is then committed, is this end of frame ?
