SNOOKER QUERY
A correspondent writes from Kilbirnie. “In a six-handed game of snooker for 1/in each, with three players Remaining in the game, with the scores 27. 26. 21, tlie player with 27 went in off the black. Does it finish the game, or do the other players pot the black?” Rule 19 of the rules of snooker reads: “When only the black is left, the first score or forfeit ends the game, unless the scores are then equal, in which ca.->e the black is spotted, and the players draw lots for choice of playing at the black from hand. The next score or forfeit ends the game.” Therefore, in the ease quoted, the player who had scored 27 loses 7 for going in off the black, and ends the gwne. and consequently the player who has scored 26 wins the game.
