English billiards
Requires Pro — the practice pad is free
SnookerFlow scores English billiards as well as snooker: a referee pad built for a phone, a match clock for timed games, and a live billiards scoreboard for your stream. Pick English billiards at the top of Match Setup instead of Snooker.
Set up the match
- Timed — most points when time runs out wins. Pick 80, 90 or 120 minutes, or type your own length. When time is up, the player at the table finishes their visit.
- Points up — first to the target wins. Pick 100, 150, 250, 500, 1000 or 1500, or type your own.
- Both — first to the target, or most points when time runs out.
- Foul gives opponent — 2 points by default (the usual rule); change it if your league plays differently.
- Who breaks — Player 1 plays the yellow ball and Player 2 the white. Use Swap yellow and white to switch them.
Score from the pad
The pad shows the yellow and white players side by side, with the player at the table highlighted and the current break under their score. Five big buttons cover every visit:
| Button | What it does |
|---|---|
| +2 | White ball pot or in-off, or a cannon. Adds 2 to the break. |
| +3 | Red ball pot or in-off. Adds 3 to the break. |
| Foul | Gives the opponent the foul points and brings them to the table. |
| End visit | A miss or safety. The break ends and the other player comes to the table. |
| Undo | Takes back the last tap, as many times as you need. |
The match clock starts on your first tap (or tap Start); use Pause and Resume at the top of the pad for intervals. On a timed game the pad tells you when time is up, and on a points-up game when someone reaches the target. Tap End match (the flag icon on a phone) to finish early. Every tap is saved as you go, and if the connection drops the pad keeps scoring and syncs when it's back.
To change how big the player names and scores are, tap the text size button (the T icon) at the top of the pad. It cycles Standard, Large (the default) and Extra large, and the pad remembers your pick on that device. Long names and big scores shrink to fit, so nothing gets cut off on a phone.
Put it on your stream
Tap Overlay link on the pad (the copy icon on a phone) to copy the scoreboard URL, then add it like the snooker overlay: a Browser source at 1920 × 1080 in OBS (see Adding the overlay to OBS), or the browser graphics of any streaming tool that takes a web page with a transparent background, such as Mevo Studio. The scoreboard shows both players with their ball colours, the score, the time left on timed games, your caption, and the current break, which stays on screen for the whole visit.
Five billiards layouts: Broadcast Band (a full-width colour band with the caption underneath, TV style), Bottom Bar, Raised Tabbed, Corner Scorebug and Centre Pill. Set it under English billiards layout in Overlay Settings (Match Setup’s On the overlay for this match card shows the look a match will use, with an Edit this look link). Your overlay colours, font, size and break counter style apply to it too.
After the match
The match summary shows the final score, high break, breaks of 50+ and 100+, visits, average per visit and fouls for each player, and the match appears in your match history. Billiards results are kept apart from snooker: they don't change anyone's snooker rating or rankings.
