What lines/markings for new simonis install?

[Billiard_Junkie]

Hi, I am getting new Simonis Tournament Blue 860 on my table and was looking for suggestions on what lines I should put on it. I have a 9 foot table and play 8 ball and snooker. Would you do the lines, dots and semi circle or do the least markup possible? Thanks.

Lines drawn on with a white Sharpie.
I found that pencil markings disappear fairly quickly using a Simonis X-! for cleaning the cloth.

For snooker:
D radius is 1/3 the width of the playing surface
The D is at 1/5th the length of the playing surface
The Pink is 1/4 of the length of the table from the black rail
The Black is 1/11th of the length of the table from the black rail.

By comparison, the head string on a pool table is at 1/4 of the length of the playing surface.

On a 9 ft, the D would be at 20" and the pool head string would be at 25".

Thanks! I just noticed on a lot of the awesome Home Rooms on the site that a lot of people don't seem to mark up their table. I didn't know if the norm was putting all the lines/dots on the simonis or be minimal.
