The AI box in a minute
How automated snooker scoring works: camera sees, AI scores, you play.
Two cameras per table: one overhead feeds an AI detection pipeline running locally, so every ball is tracked in real time; the other films the match for the stream.
Two Cameras
A global-shutter camera overhead scores the table; a second camera films the match for the stream. Works with standard snooker table lighting.

Live Scoring
Scores, breaks and frames update in real time on the cloud scoreboard and overlay displays.
Cloud Sync

Automated snooker scoring: common questions
What is an automated snooker scoring system?
An automated snooker scoring system scores the match for you. An overhead camera watches the table and AI software identifies every ball, so pots, breaks, fouls and frame scores are recorded automatically, with no referee or manual scorer. CueSportAi's system shows the score live on the club's scoreboard, on players' phones and on a live stream overlay.
How does the AI snooker scorer know which ball was potted?
The AI tracks all 22 balls many times a second. When a ball disappears near a pocket it is confirmed as a pot, and bounce-outs are filtered out. The colour of the ball sets the points, and the sequence of reds and colours is checked against the rules of snooker.
Can it detect fouls and misses?
Yes. Fouls such as hitting the wrong ball first are detected and flagged on screen as they happen. A player or staff member can correct any call from a phone or tablet.
What hardware does an automatic snooker scoring system need?
Per table: an ordinary mini-PC, two cameras and a tablet. One camera mounts overhead at ceiling height and scores the table (it works with standard snooker table lighting); the second films the match for the live stream. The tablet is the scoreboard and controls at the table. See the hardware page for the exact per-table list.
Does it work for pool (8-ball and 9-ball)?
AI scoring for pool is in testing now. Pool clubs can already score 8-ball and 9-ball matches for free on the CueSportAi scoreboard and app, and stream them with the score on screen.
Can we live stream matches with the score on screen?
Yes. Every AI-scored table can stream to YouTube or Facebook with a broadcast scoreboard overlay that updates on its own, so viewers see the live score, the break and the players' names.
Do players keep their stats?
Yes. Every match, century break and frame goes into the player's CueSportAi profile, with ELO ratings and shot statistics that follow them from club to club.
