Post-foul snooker option
In snooker, a free ball is a situation where a foul has left the cue ball positioned so the player cannot hit both sides of any legal target ball.
The referee declares a free ball, allowing the fouled-against player to nominate any ball as a substitute target, which then takes on the value of the ball it replaces.
