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.
