I suppose you could have the utterly ridiculous scenario of pot all 15 reds with one shot then the white goes in - 4-0 to opponent with just the colours left Opponent pots yellow, green, brown and blue - 18-0, snookers required.

It would be a respotted black following a draw at the end of the frame. Going in off on the black doesn’t lose you the frame in snooker.

That's a fair view, but if this is the case the law should be changed.
