| Jul 6, 2020 at 9:15 | comment | added | Trevor | Ok thanks clarky. The pink snookers the top of the red stack and every red in the stack has only one side visible. So if the rule states both sides must be visible then the rule needs to be re writen. I will check with my lawyer. In the mean time .... no free ball | |

Taking one of the corner balls in the pack, the only ball blocking both sides is a red ball, and as all of the reds are on it cannot be defined as a snookering ball, therefore there is no snooker. | |
