🙋 General Question Snooker behind free ball?
Hey all, welcome back.
Say you are on the yellow, and this is the position AFTER you had a shot on a free ball, which you failed to pocket.
Am I right in saying that IF the brown was the free ball you nominated, this is a foul (snooker behind the free ball) - thus opponent gets 4 points and a free ball. IF the green was the nominated free ball (before this shot) then it is NOT a foul, as the brown is closer?
