World Pool Rules

Keep practicing with the two pin lock, trying to lighten your touch as you do, and making sure you consistently can pick the pins one at a time. It’s important to let the sound sing itself and not have the feeling that you are making it happen. We don’t like silence, and therefore they know it’s a torture for us. " and she says, "Well, it was my parents who didn’t bring me up right," you know? When this happens, the player who goes next gets a "ball in hand". However, if the shooter pockets the legal object ball the incoming player has the option to play the shot as left, or hand it back to his opponent. If so, his opponent will then have the choice to either play the shot, or hand it back. If you release pressure with your pick while still applying torque, the bottom pin will drop freely, and will not have any spring pressure if you try to push it back up.

For a nine-ball pool, you will have nine balls, while a three-ball pool has three balls. As stated in Rule 2.2, balls other than the one and nine are placed randomly in the rack and should not be set in any particular order during any rack. If the area referee is asked to determine whether a foul occurred and there is no evidence of the foul except the claim of one player while the other player claims that there was no foul, then it is assumed that no foul occurred. For a called shot to count, the referee must be satisfied that the intended shot was made, so if there is any chance of confusion, e.g. with bank, combination and similar shots, the shooter should indicate the ball and pocket. 3) In accepting the table as is, the incoming player is not permitted to play a "push-out", he must play a legal shot to the ball on.

If the shooter fails to pocket the called ball or fouls, play passes to the other player, and if no foul was committed, the incoming player must play the cue ball from the position left by the other player. The referee will determine all matters of fact relating to the rules, maintain fair playing conditions, call fouls, what is billiards and take other action as required by these rules. The referee will suspend play when conditions do not permit fair play. 3) make sure the referee marks the table for suspended play. The non-shooting player will perform all of the duties of the referee. The non-shooting player should remain in his designated chair while his opponent is at the table. 6.5 Ball Driven off the Table The only jumped object ball that is spotted is the ten. If a player nominates and legally pockets the ten ball prior to the ten ball being the last remaining ball, the ten ball is re-spotted and the shooter continues, while pocketing the ten ball as a final ball at the table, he wins the rack. For deciding who will break in racks after the first, in games such as nine ball, the tournament management may choose a procedure different from the standard one listed in the Rules.

The one who wins the break shot will choose whether to play with coloured or striped balls. He may consult one or both players on that, however, the particular player’s opinion is not binding and his judgment can be amended. Each involved player has the right to dispute the referee’s judgment just once, but after that it is the referee’s discretion to restore the ball or balls. The shooter, after the break at any time may call "safety" which permits him to make contact with the legal object ball without pocketing a ball and end his inning. If the player wants to protest against that ruling, he may contact the head referee and after that the tournament director. 1) On the break shot, a minimum of three object balls must either be pocketed, or touch the head string line, or a combination of both.
