Game Rules:
- Rules
of Eight Ball Pool
Fifteen balls are racked in a triangle and the eight is in the center. Fifteen
balls are divided into
two groups: balls lower than eight (SOLIDS) or all those higher than eight
(STRIPES). Players will choose
the corresponding group to shoot when the first ball is pocketed. Players
should pocket all the balls in the
selected group, then pocket the eight, to win the game. On every shot if a
player pockets the eight, he loses the game.
Fouls:
1.You pocket the cue ball or your opponent's balls.
2.When you shoot, the cue ball fails to hit any ball in your group first.
3.When you shoot, you neither pocket a ball nor make any ball hit a cushion.
Note: At least four balls must hit cushions on the first stroke otherwise
balls will be re-racked and game will restart.

of Bonus
Pool
Bonus Pool is very addictive though it's a single player game.You should not
miss it if you want to be a pool shark. Nine balls are racked in a diamond
shape, your task is to pocket them all in 20 shots. With one ball pocketed,
you score 100, but if you fail to do so, you lose 100 instead. You can get
bonus points according to how you pocket the balls.
suppose: (3),(4,1,9),(5),(6,7),(8),(2)
is the ball sequence you pocketed. The balls in one bracket were pocketed
successively. So, In bracket (4,7,9),there are two 'successive pots',and in
(6,2),you have one. For each 'successive pot', you'll get 500 bonus points.
So you totally have 3 'successive pots' in your pocketed sequence, then you'll
get 500 X 3=1500 bonus points. Now look at the pocketed sequence again, you'll
find 4 follows 3,6 follows 5, 7 follows 6 and 8 follows 7,they are called
'sequential pots', for each 'sequential pot', you'll get 500 bonus points
too. So, you'll get 500 X 4=2000 bonus points. The total bonus points you'll
get is 1500+2000=3500.
Another example, if your pocketed sequence is (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9),
It means you have 8 'successive pots' and 8 'sequential pots', then
you'll get 500 X 8 + 500 X 8 = 8000 bonus! But it's extremely hard to get.
If you fail to pocket all balls in 20 shots or you pocket the cue ball, you
lose the game.
- Rules
of Nine Ball
Nine lowest numbered balls are racked in a diamond shape, the one is at the
apex and the nine is in the center. Any ball that drops on the break is legal
if the one is hit first.On every shot the player must hit the lowest-numbered
ball first, failure to do so is a foul. Players who pocket the cue ball, commit
a foul. The player who pockets the nine ball legally wins the game.
Note: The balls
may be pocketed in any order, and in particular the 9-ball may be pocketed
at any time. The rule is only that the lowest-numbered ball must be the first
one hit, so if you can knock the 1-ball into the 9-ball in such a way that
the 9-ball goes into a pocket, you can win a frame very quickly.
- Rules
of Straight Pool
