Snooker Shoot Out 2024 rules and format

Snooker Shoot Out is a unique tournament which puts players up against the clock.

Matches last a maximum of 10 minutes, with a shot clock of 15 seconds for the first five minutes and just 10 seconds for the final five.

Here are the key rules:

  • Each frame lasts a maximum of 10 minutes.
  • Shot clock stops players from wasting time.
  • The first five minutes of the frame = 15 seconds per shot.
  • The second five minutes of the frame = 10 seconds per shot.
  • Five-point penalty (or value of pink or black if attempted) for failing to play a shot within the allocated time.
  • Players must hit a cushion with any ball or pot a ball with every shot.
  • All fouls give the opponent the ball in hand.
  • Similar to pool, players "lag" for break-off with white played from the baulk line off the top cushion.
  • The nearest to the baulk cushion wins the lag.
  • A blue ball shoot-out settles tied matches with players aiming to pot blue off its spot from within the "D" to a top pocket.
  • Flukes do not count on the final blue.
