December 15[edit]

Maximum break in snooker[edit]

In snooker the total clearance is 147. But you can get higher. Are there limits and have they been approached? --Cimon Avaro; on a pogostick. (talk) 20:18, 15 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Actually it isn't. That covers real scores. But you could snooker on all fifteen an infinite number of times theoretically and be judged a miss. -- Cimon Avaro; on a pogostick. (talk) 00:03, 21 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
