I knew about the rules of Billiard. here i just write the few rules which i knew, so that it will be helpful for newbie. General Rules of Pocket Billiards Unless specifically stated to the contrary, these general rules apply to all pocket billiard games. Tables, Balls and all other equipment should meet the standards recommended by the BCA Equipment Specifications. Racking the Balls A triangle must be used for racking the balls with the apex ball on the foot spot and all the other balls lined up behind the apex ball in such a way that they are pressed together and have contact with each other. Striking the Cue Ball The cue ball can only be struck with the cue tip or else it is considered a foul. Opening Break Shot In a tournament or any formal competition, the opening break shot is determined by the lag break procedure. The player who wins the lot or lag can either choose to perform the opening the break shot or to assign it to the opponent. Cue Ball on Opening Break The player takes the opening break shot with cue ball in hand behind the head string. The positioning of the object balls is done in accordance with the specific game rules. On the opening break, once the cue tip strikes the cue ball and it crosses the head string, the game is considered to have begun. Deflecting the Cue Ball on the Opening Break of the Game On the break shot, if the cue ball is deflected or stopped prior to hitting the racked balls and after it has crossed the head string, it is considered a foul and the player loses their turn. The opponent now has the option of passing the cue ball in hand behind the head string back to the offending player or receiving the cue ball in hand behind the head string.

I have played this game several times. Before being able to play it in reality I use to try it on the internet to master all the rules and regulations and eventually I managed to learn it and then I played on the real table which was so fun at first.

I first time touch the ball arm is the time I met my first boy friend. Billiards was his favorite sport. Of course, his skill is fancy, his pose is handsome. After finished class, he rushed to the billiard table, playing with his friend. once I cann't see him, went to billiard room is right thing. That is a happy time. Though, we have depart for many years, but, billiard always in my heart.

Hello there! During my college days I happened to learn this game through my friends. This game is really exciting especially if you have some extra effort knowing it. Practice really makes it possible for you to enjoy this game. You are boosted if you can make some fancy shots out of your pool cue. Happy mylotting!

This game is very interesting if you know it well. The most exciting thing is clean the table, it feels so good when you did it! But i was wondering why you can not play it?
