The General Rules of Pocket Billiards apply except when contradicted by these specific rules.
1. OBJECT OF THE GAME: Pocket balls, one at a time, in any order, to score points.
2. SCORING: One point is scored for each ball pocketed. The first player to reach 150 points wins the game.
3. LEGAL BREAK: You must pocket a ball or drive four balls to the rail to avoid a foul.
4. LEGAL SHOT: Any ball pocketed, except on a scratch, is a legal shot. If no ball is pocketed, you must drive the cue ball or an object ball to the rail to avoid a foul. Any scratch also results in a foul.
5. CONTINUING PLAY: You may continue playing after every ball legally pocketed. If you fail to legally pocket a ball, play passes to your opponent. When only one ball remains on the table, the rest of the balls are racked without that ball. You may pocket any ball to continue your turn.
6. FOUL PENALTIES: First foul results in deduction of one point. Second consecutive foul results in the loss of another point.
7. SPECIAL FOUL PENALTIES: The third consecutive foul results in the loss of another 16 points (one point normal loss and 15-point special penalty).
