Foul Snooker
Hi there,

Occasionally I get pulled up for a foul snooker when under normal sooner rules it is perfectly legitimate, i.e. pot red then tuck the white behind a colour, leaving no direct line to a red.

Is this a bug or are there certain conditions that cause a foul snooker to be called?  

Thanks in anticipation.

If you are playing pro rules & the balls are already touching its classed as a double hit & you will get called foul snooker. If you do it from a free ball you are not allowed to snooker your opponent with the free ball so will get called foul snooker. Other than that the only way this should be called foul snooker is if you don't actually hit the ball you are trying to roll up to.
