3 yellows

While we`re quizzing How about lowest total clearance?

Go on then, 44

[Souwester]

Yes, I'd agree with 44.

[hotpot]

i say 37 :snooker:

[Souwester]

*Total* clearance = starting the break with 15 reds on the table, and finishing it by potting the black.

How can you do that by scoring as little as 37 points?

[hotpot]

Have a think about it .

[jrc750]

pot the black as well as the pink at the end
edit: wouldnt work that -because the pink wouldnt be counted as it was a foul shot

[snooker warrior]

44 me thinks

I think it's you who needs to think about it....

Not at all mucka

Can you explain how you get to 37 or 44 .

Total consecutive clearance : 15 reds 15 yellows and all the colours = 72 .

[samueldavidrice]

Same reasoning as the last question mate - if you pot your first red but the white ball then also knocks in ALL the other reds on the table in the same shot, isn't that 15pts? Then the yellow as a colour then all the colours - that makes 44 I think. Not sure about how to get it down to 37 though lol )

i think i got it... upon potting the pink you are on 37, then you pot the black and go in-off! so 37 to you and 7 to your opponent! that's a total clearance too

Thanks for the reply , i was not thinking 'outside the box '! . My reasoning for 72 ......i was in the real world

There is more chance of Elvis playing Michael Jackson at the Crucible next year than that happening

That's NOT a total clearance though, as a total clearance is defined as the legal potting of every ball on the table at the start of the frame, well certainly that is what is implied by the phrase
