斯諾克臺球的比賽規則 　it Takes Balls
A standard set of balls for the snooker table consists of 15 rids,6 colours and 1white/cue ball.Historically,snooker balls were made exclusively from heavy ivory.Thankfully,these quickly became a thing of the past and were replaced before the Second World War by lighter Crystallite bassl made from the croushed shin bones of cows.Today,snooker balls are entirely made from synthetic materials.
一套標準的斯諾克臺球用球由15只紅色球，6只彩色球和一只白/主球組成。歷史上，斯諾克用球只能用沉重的象牙來制造，謝天謝地，這很快就成為了歷史，在第二次世界大戰之前，更為輕便的微晶球取而代之，它們由碾碎的母牛脛骨制成，而如今，斯諾克用球全部是用俁成材料來制造。
Mind Your Manners!
In much the same way as golf,snooker demands high standards of etiquette and behavior from all players,at all levels,at all times.This applies in the same way to a local league match as it does to a big game in a professional tournament.
1、Shake hands with an opponent at the start and end of a match.
2、Shake hands with the referee at the start and end of a match.
3、Declare all your own fouls,at all times.
4、Do not stand in line of an opponent’s shot.
5、Do not volunteer remarks about an opponent’s luck whilst a match is in progress.
6、Do not complain about playing conditions whilst a match is in progress.
7、Do not strike matches or lighters,and try to avoid coughing whilst your opponent is at the table.
8、Do not concede a frame or match when you have missed a shot or whilst your opponent is still at the table.Wait for your opponent to finish their visit before conceding.
9、Do not argue with the referee or your opponent.
禮儀至上
與高爾夫差不多，斯諾克要求選手在任何級別的比賽上，在任何時候都有要具備高標準的禮儀舉止。無論是在地方聯賽上，還是在職業聯賽中的高級別賽上，這一規定均適用。
1、在比賽開始和結束時，要和對手握手。
2、在比賽開始和結事時，要和裁判握手。
3、無論何時，都要將自己所有的犯規行為時行申報。
4、不能站在對手的擊球線上。
5、在比賽仍在進行時，不能隨意對對手的運氣進行評論。
6、在比賽仍在進行時，不能對比賽形勢表達不滿。
7、當你的對手在臺面擊球時，不能劃火柴或點燃打火機，別外要避免咳嗽出聲。
8、在某盤或某場比賽中，當你擊失一桿或你的對手仍在臺面擊球時，不能認輸。等到你的對手擊完球后，方可認輸。
9、不能與裁判或你的對手進行爭論。

Player one must pot a ball as failure to de so will result in the loss of one of their lives.Player two then begins from the place the white ball has finished and so on.Play rotates after each player has had their shot.Once a player has lost all their lives they are removed from the game.The game progresses until all but one player has olst all lives given to them.They are then declared the winner.A foul results in the loss of a player’s life.
換個玩法
在斯諾克球案上還可以進行別一個有趣的游戲。那就是Killer游戲。
這個游戲最好有5個或5個以上的游戲者。在粉球置點的下面，把所有的22只球擺放成一個三角形。游戲者斯諾克臺球的比賽規則可以拋擲硬幣或抽簽來決定進行游戲的順序。每個游戲者可以獲得幾條“命”，通常是3條，但根據參與者數量的不同可以有所調整。一旦確定了游戲順序，就請一個旁觀者來開球，開球時他/她要盡力把球擊散到臺面各處。然后，第一個出場的的游戲者必須擊進一個球，不然就會失去一條“命”。之后，第二個出場的游戲者從白球停落的位置上開始游戲，并依次進行下去。當所有游戲者都打過一輪后，他/她就被淘汰出局。游戲一直要進行到只有一名游戲者留了下來而其他人都丟掉了他們的“命”。 之后，他/她將被宣布為獲勝者。游戲者犯規(一般的斯諾克規則所規定的)一次就將丟掉一條“命”。
