If the maximum break for snooker is 147 then would it be possible to get a 151 break?

Nope, as there is no free ball, or any extra added on points on funky

The accepted maximum is 155.

However, not here! As the free ball rule is not implimented, however it has been the subject of much discussion : http://www.funkysnooker.com/viewTopic.do?topicid=3246

free ball would mess up all the maximums of 147 and 107 though

yeah dont think it should be brought in atall

Nobody ever hear steve davis' take on things...according to him, the maximum break is limitless

how is it limitless?

I can't remember mate he was explainin it on bbc at the worlds a few years ago...i'll google it now see if i can find out what he said

the maximum score is limitless not break

The max is 155 can't possibly be any more...

He's right...

If you have a ref who isn't the brightest yeah, and after you have potted a black, he puts a red on the spot insted of re-spotting the black, if this happens, the red has to stay on the table, thus an extra red on the table.

This could keep going on and on and on an on..










But very very unlikely it will happen as this has never happened in the game of snooker (professionally anyway)

Thats not in the rules though, thats just a ref mistake like greame poll giving a bloke 3 yellow cardbefore sending him off.

It is the rules, because they aren't allowed to take the red back off the table.

And yeah, it was said at last years world championships
