Course Information
The format for these events is ‘Snook O’. Based on the game of Snooker - you get a map with checkpoints that are either a ‘Red’ or a ‘Colour’.
Just like you would do in the game of snooker - ‘visit’ a red checkpoint to score 1 point, then visit any of the colour checkpoints to bag those - i.e. Pink will get you 6 points.
You have 45 minutes to build up as big a break as you can in the time limit. Each checkpoint will have an SI timing box and orange/white kite on it so you will see your score instantly when you download!
Penalties: No penalties if you Finish in under 45 mins, thereafter penalties will be deducted at 5 points per minute (1 pt/12 seconds).
Scoring values: All Reds: 1 point (controls 101 to 111), Zero value: 0 points (control 150 only). Colours: Yellow/2 points/control 112, Green/3/113, Brown/4/114, Blue/5/115. Pink 6/116, Black 7/117. Colour controls will be marked with a double circle for easy recognition. Maximum possible score = 115.
