Snooker - Variants

Variants

• American snooker, a variant dating to 1925, usually played on a 10 by 5 foot table with 2 1⁄₈ inch balls, and a simpler rule set influenced by pool (it should be pointed out that despite its name, American snooker is not governed nor recognised by the United States Snooker Association).
• Power Snooker, a variant with only nine reds, in a diamond-shaped pack, instead of 15 in a triangle, and matches limited to 30 minutes.
• Sinuca brasileira, a Brazilian version with only one red ball, and divergent rules
• Six-red snooker, a variant played with only six reds in a triangular pack.
• Snooker plus, a variant with additional balls
