斯诺克台球的比赛规则

　    It Takes Balls

　　A standard set of balls for the snooker table consists of 15 rids,6 colours and 1white/cue ball.Historically,snooker balls were made exclusively from heavy ivory.Thankfully,these quickly became a thing of the past and were replaced before the Second World War by lighter Crystallite bassl made from the croushed shin bones of cows.Today,snooker balls are entirely made from synthetic materials.

　　一套标准的斯诺克台球用球由15只红色球，6只彩色球和一只白/主球组成。历史上，斯诺克用球只能用沉重的象牙来制造，谢天谢地，这很快就成为了历史，在第二次世界大战之前，更为轻便的微晶球取而代之，它们由碾碎的母牛胫骨制成，而如今，斯诺克用球全部是用俣成材料来制造。

　　Mind Your Manners!

　　In much the same way as golf,snooker demands high standards of etiquette and behavior from all players,at all levels,at all times.This applies in the same way to a local league match as it does to a big game in a professional tournament.

　　1、Shake hands with an opponent at the start and end of a match.

　　2、Shake hands with the referee at the start and end of a match.

　　3、Declare all your own fouls,at all times.

　　4、Do not stand in line of an opponent’s shot.

　　5、Do not volunteer remarks about an opponent’s luck whilst a match is in progress.

　　6、Do not complain about playing conditions whilst a match is in progress.

　　7、Do not strike matches or lighters,and try to avoid coughing whilst your opponent is at the table.

　　8、Do not concede a frame or match when you have missed a shot or whilst your opponent is still at the table.Wait for your opponent to finish their visit before conceding.

　　9、Do not argue with the referee or your opponent.
