A Shoot-Out frame lasts 10 minutes on the clock. Each shot gets 15 seconds for the first five minutes and 10 seconds after that. Run out of time and it is a foul worth 5 points, or the value of the ball on if higher.
Every foul gives the opponent ball in hand, and on every shot a ball must be potted or touch a cushion. When the frame clock reaches zero, the shot already being played still counts, then the frame ends.

Frequently asked questions
- How long is a Shoot-Out frame?
- Ten minutes on the clock, with no extra time. Whoever is ahead on points when the frame clock reaches zero wins the frame. If the scores are level, the frame is settled by a blue-ball shootout.
- When does the shot clock drop to 10 seconds?
- Each shot gets 15 seconds for the first five minutes of the frame. Once five minutes or less are left on the frame clock, every new shot gets 10 seconds.
- What is the penalty for a time foul?
- Letting the shot clock run out is a foul worth 5 points, or the value of the ball on if that is higher. As with every foul in Shoot-Out, the opponent then gets ball in hand.
- How do I use this clock at my club?
- Prop a phone where both players can see it. Tap Start frame as the break-off is played, then tap Next shot each time the balls stop. Pause stops both clocks if play is interrupted.
- Does the screen stay on?
- On most modern phones, yes: the page asks the browser to keep the screen awake while the clock runs. If your phone does not support that, set a longer screen timeout before the frame.
