RE: hmmm, lets see..... the snooker break? 155? i thought 147 but then the 7 because of the black been potted but isnt that 154 or am i missing something?
highest without a foul is 147 (ie 15 reds=15 points, 15 blacks=105, yellow=2, green=3, brown=4, blue=5, pink=6, black to finish=7) but with fouls included it's possible to get 155, I think this is by a foul on the first shot allowing you to pot any ball as a red and then a colour after it as normal (so for example pot the brown and get 1 point as it is counted as red, then pot black for a further seven) before carrying on from the 15 reds as normal so 8+147=155. Erm I think.
