Total Snooker
(1) Definition: A player is in a Total Snooker when it is impossible to play any part of any of the player's own Colour by way of a "straight - line" shot. Leaving an opponent in a Total Snooker is not a foul.
(2) If a player believes that a Total Snooker exists, the player may ask the referee for a ruling.
(3) If the referee rules that a Total Snooker exists, the player's obligations under the "Legal Shot" rule are relaxed as follows: - The player need only cause the Cue Ball's initial contact to be with a ball "On". The requirement to pot a ball and/or cause a ball to strike a cushion is waived.
