Pool, unlike many other billiard games is highly contested. It is very popular in all parts of the world. There are many versions of this game in the USA. The most popular are the eight-ball and nine-ball pool. Pool matches are typically played over several games. The winner is usually declared after completing a certain number frame. The winner generally gets 61 point. For different winning numbers, handicaps are possible.
The goal of the game, however, is to get all the balls that are designated for being pounded. Each ball pocketed counts for one point, but any additional balls pocketed are also worth one point. A player is considered to have won if they are able to pocket the eight ball first. If the player fails to pocket the eight ball, the game is lost. If the eight-ball is lost during a foul the other balls are taken and spotted. But, the foul is not counted towards the points. A player who commits two fouls consecutively is required to be informed before they can play their next shot.
There are three groups of balls available: solid balls (striped balls), object balls (object balls), and striped balls (solid balls). They are smaller than American style balls and come with a variety colors including dark violet for the 4 and 12 balls. Although they were originally all red, object balls are multi-colored nowadays. They can also be made from fibreglass, carbon fibre, wood and other materials. Common ball diameters include 2+1/16", 2" and 3".
The object of this game is to find the black eight ball. To do this, the player must place all of the balls in his pocket. He must also make sure all balls that have been pounded are found and placed in line with the foot rail. The player with eight balls in his pocket is allowed to place them back on the tables.
You can pocket a basketball without fouling by placing it close to your foot and calling the shot. Fouls must not be committed during the shot. All other balls must be placed in line with the foot spot. The foul will not be added to the points but will result in a player receiving a free shot. The foul can be played with any ball.
Each player who makes a shot must place the ball into their pocket. The balls must be hit in order of priority. However, if a foul is committed before a ball is pocketed, the ball in the front row must be pocketed again. The player may pocket any other balls in addition to the ball in the front row.
