Read full description

Simple score keeping Shell Out application that is played at snooker clubs around the world. Shell Out is a form of a Pyramid game in which more than two persons play, and each individual player is for himself and against the players drawn immediate before and after him. Hence a player suffers a loss of points after a foul and or if the person after him scores but wins points from the player before him or after scoring points himself. 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.
