What is the highest possible regular break in snooker?
Correct!
A maximum break in snooker is usually 147 points. To do this, a player must pocket all 15 red balls together with the highest-valued color black and then sink the six colors in the prescribed order. This initially creates 15 combinations of red and black, which together result in 120 points. The final perforated colors yellow, green, brown, blue, pink and black bring a further 27 points - a total of 147. Under special circumstances, a so-called free ball can even result in a break of more than 147 points. However, the classic maximum break remains 147.
