pool rules

[trick_xd]

greg13 .. seems to know what the rules are as well .

Vic rules are different to other states as in Vic we play comp rules at just about every venue UN less they have House rules posted .

All Fouls are 2 shots from the first shot AFTER the break
The break ... 3 Different ball must hit the rails OR 1 ball be potted
If on the break 3 ball don't hit the rail or ball potted then it is a RErack with the other person having 2 shots.
If you pot 1 yellow and 1 red on the break , The player MUST nominate a color and play on .
IF on the Break you pot a yellow , you may nominate RED , Then POT a red to be on them , IF you miss the pot on RED then it is OPEN TABLE for the next player.

There is D in a league pool table there is just a Line called the Baulk line .

All shots from BIH have to be played from behind that line and you may shoot anywhere. IF you put the Cue ball on the baulk line then You may get called a foul as 50% of the ball has to be behind the line .. not on the line.

BIH ( ball in Hand ) is from ether Potting the cue ball , Cue ball leaves the table or Foul snooker ( thats where you can not get the finest possible cut on BOTH sides of your object ball )

I could just give you a link to these rules but most people wont even look so this is the basic rules .
