description Power Snooker Overview
Power Snooker is a cue-sport variant introduced in 2010 that compresses traditional snooker into a timed format. A rack of nine reds replaces the standard fifteen, a shot clock limits the time available for each stroke, and a designated PowerBall can trigger scoring worth double during a PowerPlay. The game retains the basic red-and-colour sequence of snooker while adding time pressure and bonus scoring, making it suited to shorter exhibition or competition matches.
