Snooker is one of the most popular cue sports in the world, and it is a part of the billiards and pool family. The game is fairly simple to understand and highly enjoyable. It involves the simple skill of potting the snooker balls into the pockets on the table. The objective is to gain more points than the opponent (or the opposing team) by potting more snooker balls, and the team with the most points ultimately wins.
A snooker table is rectangular in shape with 4 pockets, one in each corner of the table. There are two more pockets present in the middle of the longer sides of the rectangular table (these sides of the table are known as cushions). The snooker table dimensions are 12 feet x 6 feet, so this is a table that requires plenty of space. One end of the shorter cushions has a line that is 29 inches away from the cushion, and this line is known as the Baulk Line and this end is known as the Baulk End. The other end is conversely known as the Top Cushion. At the center of the Baulk Line is a semi-circle with a radius of 11.5 inches (this circle is known as the D), and it is drawn behind the Baulk Line.
