End Of Frame, Game Or Match

At the completion of any break when that player has left the table and then when only the colours and the cue ball (if not in-hand) remain on the table, and if four (4) or more snookers are required, the referee will 'award' the frame 'against' the player requiring the snookers. (i.e 40 or more behind when all the reds are gone)

When a Foul and a Miss has been called twice consecutively in a full snookered situation and the offending player has been requested to play again from the original position, he shall be warned by the Referee that if he is called a third time for a 'Foul and a Miss', the next player will have the following options:

1. Request the offending player to play from where the balls have come to rest.
2. Play himself from where the balls have come to rest.
3. Play himself from in-hand with all balls remaining as where they have come to rest.

When a Foul and a Miss has been called, the offending player must, in every attempt, demonstrate that he is making a genuine effort to strike the ball on.
