18) How can a break over 147 be achieved?

This can only happen if, at the start of the break, the player has been awarded a "free ball", following a foul by his opponent. The free balls acts as an extra red, after which you can take the black, thus adding an extra 8 points to your possible score. The highest recorded break starting with a free ball is by Wally West, a well known London Amateur, who compiled a break of 151.

The maximum break when the break starts with a free ball is therefore 155... which has never been recorded.
