Rules and Format of Snooker Shoot Out 2024

The Snooker Shoot Out features a unique format that challenges players against the clock.

Each match is limited to a maximum of 10 minutes, with a 15-second shot clock in the first half and a 10-second shot clock in the second half.

Important rules include:

  • Frames are confined to a maximum duration of 10 minutes.
  • The shot clock helps ensure players do not stall.
  • For the initial five minutes, players have 15 seconds per shot.
  • In the remaining five minutes, players have 10 seconds per shot.
  • A five-point penalty (or the equivalent of the pink or black if attempted) is imposed for failing to play a shot in time.
  • Each shot must either hit a cushion or pot a ball.
  • Not adhering to the rules results in the ball being awarded to the opponent.
  • Players “lag” for the opening break by hitting the white ball from the baulk line against the top cushion.
  • The player who gets closest to the baulk cushion wins the lag.
  • A shoot-out with the blue ball settles tied matches, requiring players to pot the blue from its position to a top pocket.
  • Flukes do not count on the final blue.
