Six Red Rule changes for IBSF competitions

Postby roy142857

I saw in the player publicity for the upcoming Oceania Six Reds Championship that they were drawing players attention to rule changes in IBSF certified competitions, as follows:

The usual Rules of Snooker apply with the following exceptions.

1. There will be no more than 5 consecutive 'Foul and a Miss' calls at any one time.

2. After 4 consecutive 'Foul and a Miss' calls, the referee will warn the offending player that should a 'Foul and a Miss' be called again, the following options are available to the non-striker.
(a) He can play from where the balls have come to rest.
(b) He can ask their opponent to play from where the balls have come to rest.
(c) He can place the cue-ball anywhere on the table, but this option cannot be taken if play has reached the 'Snookers required' stage.

3. The player cannot snooker behind a nominated colour at any time. (Including when playing a colour after potting a red or a free-ball nominated as a red.)
