How to put markings 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.
