wats difference between snooker & billiards?
This is another one of those questions that keeps getting asked over and over with slightly different wording. Check the archives and you’ll find this question at least a dozen times. Anyway, in a nutshell, “billiards” is an all-encompassing term which includes all cue sports. Pocket billiards (pool), carom games (pocketless tables), and snooker are all subcategories under the heading of “billiards”. Many people today use the word “billiards” only to describe carom games. Three-cushion billiards is the most commonly played carom game. M.D.-BCA Instructor/Referee.
