Welcome to How to mark the D and spots on a snooker table
Below are detailed instructions and a diagram showing how to mark the D and spots on any size snooker table.
Firstly measure the
length and width of the playing area and then using the
below fractions you can work out the exact markings on any
size of table.
The Brown, Blue, Pink and Black spots are all on the central
line of the table between the centres of the top and bottom
cushions. The baulk-line should be drawn at a distance of
1/5 of the playing length (ie: inside the cushions) away
from the baulk cushion.
The 'D' is a semi-circle with a diameter of 1/3 of the width
of the playing area (so a radius of 1/6). The Yellow and
Green Spots are placed at each end of the 'D', the Brown
spot is placed at the centre of the 'D' on the baulk line.
The blue spot of course is exactly halfway between the two
middle pockets. The pink spot is at the exact centre of the
top half of the table. The black spot is at a distance equal
to 1/11 of the playing length away from the top cushion.
