Answer 1

The highest snooker break possible without the benefit of an opponent's foul is 147 (15 reds, 15 blacks and then the six colours). This is known as a maximum break. It is also regularly known as simply a 'One-Four-Seven'. Stephen Hendry and Ronnie O'Sullivan jointly hold the record for the most maximums in official competition, each having made eight. They also share the record in televised matches, with seven. The first televised 147 was by Steve Davis. The youngest televised 147-breaker is Ding Junhui who at the time was 19 years old. Ding broke the record in the Masters Tournament 2007. The record for a single session is held by Adrian Gunnell who made three 147 breaks in four frames during a practice session in Telford in 2003. On 13 March 2007, Ronnie O'Sullivan made two maximum breaks against local players during an exhibition match in Cornwall. Peter Ebdon made maximum breaks in consecutive frames during an exhibition match in Bournemouth against Steve Davis in 2000. Ken Doherty is so far the only player to have had a televised final black miss on a 147 attempt, at the 2000 Masters final.

Answer 2

At least three breaks in excess of 147 have been recorded. A 149 by Tony Drago in West Norwood, UK in 1998 is recorded by the Guinness Book of Records as the highest. In that match Drago was foul snookered and chose the brown as the free ball, to score one point. He then potted the brown again, for four more points, before potting 13 reds and 13 blacks, a red and a pink, a red and a blue, then all the colours. In October 2004, during qualifying for the UK Championship, Jamie Burnett achieved a 148 against Leo Fernandez, becoming the first player to achieve a break of more than 147 in a professional match.

Wally West was reported to have made a 151 break in the final of a club competition in Hounslow in 1976. Jamie Cope was reported to have made a break of 155 in a practice frame during 2005.

How did you manage to see a purple ball on a b&w t.v? P.s. There is no purple ball. **Edit** The version of the game that Loislane is talking about, involving a purple ball is called "Snooker plus". Here's an article from Wikipedia about snooker plus: Snooker Plus was a variation on the game of snooker and it was created by Joe Davis, the reigning World snooker champion of the time. He attempted to reinvigorate the declining popularity of the sport by adding an orange ball (8 points) and a purple ball (10 points) to the set: The idea was that this would increase the maximum break from 147 to 210, and so help to attract a greater audience. It was introduced to the public on 26 October 1959 during a major snooker tournament, but failed to catch on.

No one seems to understand this question. It's not "what is the highest possible theoretical break?" It's what is the highest score ever achieved in one frame.
The answer is 167, by Dominic Dale v. Nigel Bond in 1999 Embassy World Championship (R1) (Break 122 plus one red and 11 successive misses worth 44).

The highest aggregate score in one frame is 185, by Sean Storey (93) and Graham Storey (92) in the 1992 Thai Sky Asian Open at Trentham Gardens, Stoke (R1)

Answer 5

The highest possible break in snooker is 147 however it is possible to add 7 points to that on a foul before hand.

Answer 6

it is possible to start a break with a free ball followed by a colour so in theory you could score 155. this has never been done. alex higgins is the only professional player i know to make a total clearance in this fashion although he did not take all blacks so his score was about 140ish.
in terms of total points in a frame, including penalty points there must be many over 150 but the only one i can definitely be certain on is cliff thorburn 151 points total in his 147 frame in the 1983 world championships

Answer 7

In a professional competetive match the highest ever break was a 148 in qualifying for the 2004 UK championship, Jamie Burnett scored this when his opponent Leo Fernanadez fouled and he was awarded a free ball.
