Pool is a classification of cue sports played on a table with six pockets along the rails into which balls are pocketed. Each specific pool game has its name; some better-known include eight-ball, blackball, nine-ball, ten-ball, seven-ball, straight pool, one-pocket, and bank pool. This game has become one of the most popular 1vs1 battle games in a short time.
The 8-ball pool aims to pocket all your 7 coloured balls assigned to you (either Solids or Stripes) and ultimately pocket the 8 ball before your opponent. Based on the First Ball potted after the break shot/first shot, you will be assigned either solids or stripes.
To win the game, you must pot the 8 balls after potting all your assigned balls. You will lose the game if you pot the 8-ball earlier.
Equipments:
The rules of Pool on A23 games follow all the original rules of 8 ball pool game.
Object balls should be placed in a triangular rack and positioned at the table's lower end so the rack's apex ball lies on the foot spot.
A player who gets to break the rack first is decided on a random basis
To make a legal break, the player must hit the balls and ensure that four balls hit cushions and the cue ball doesn't go down a pocket.
Players will continue to make shots until they foul or fail to pot an object ball
Note: If the first point of contact is with the assigned object ball, the game continues with the opponent's turn and no penalty.
Penalty: Opposition players can place the cue ball anywhere on the table.
Rebound Scenario: It is permissible for the shooter to bank the cue ball off a rail before contacting his object ball;
After potting all the assigned sets of balls, the player must then pot the 8 ball.
