By Keynsham Snooker Centre: Snooker Etiquette – the unwritten rules of snooker
- Shake hands before and after a match regardless of the results.
- If you have knowingly committed a foul shot, you should own up to it.
- You should endeavour not to stand in the line of the opponents shot.
- You should make as little noise as is possible and not talk while it is your opponents turn.
- You should make an effort to re-spot the coloured balls for an opponent in a timely fashion.
- If a Player is in a situation where the number of snookers required is an unrealistic target, the player should concede the frame.
- If you have to walk past other tables wait until a Player has played his/her shot if at all possible.
- A Player should call out the points out during the break as they are made.
- If a genuine fluke has been made it is common courtesy to apologise to the opponent.
- At the end of a frame/match a Player should not offer excuses for poor play/bad luck etc., to an opponent who has played better than them.
