Simple score keeping Shell Out application that is played at snooker clubs around the world.

The order of play is drawn at the beginning of each frame either random or based on rotation with totals stored in the bank section of the app. *Standard snooker rules apply but in the game of Shell Out players generally do not play free balls and professional fouls normally do not apply.
