Hello so today me and my friend played Snooker. There was a frame where he was 1 point ahead with pink and black remaining. He potted the pink to go 7 points ahead. He then went in off whilst playing the black so the scores were level.
We both assumed as black is still on table and hasn't been potted it stays where it is. I then potted a thin black to middle to win the frame.
Looking back I'm not certain in this situation if the black should have been re-spotted or whether we've done the right thing.

Andre will confirm (or not). The foul on the black ended the frame and, because both players were tied, the blach ball should have been re-spotted.

Re-spotted black, yes.

Opps so a controversial win for me then lol. Winning that frame put me 4-2 up. Who knows what would have happened if the black was re-spotted.

Hahaha guys I had same thing last night with dad and to be honest I’m in agreement with you but if that’s what the rule is then it doesn’t make sense because what’s to stop someone fouling on purpose to get a respot??

You'd have to be 7 points ahead to foul and get a re-spot (the trailing player would end up 14pts behind after a foul, deliberate or otherwise) so, unless you were potentially throwing the game (!), you wouldn't do it.

How ridiculous, to foul deliberately for a respot

When 7 points ahead of your opponent with only black left on the table, any foul from the player ahead will result in a respotted black.
If the player behind fouled then it would be end of frame.
