Pool is a highly competitive game unlike most other billiards. It is popular throughout the world. There are many variants of this game, but the most common are the eight and nine ball pools. Most pool matches are played over many games. The winner is determined after the completion of a certain amount of frames. The winner generally gets 61 point. However, different winning numbers can be awarded handicaps.
The game's main objective is to get all the balls pounded. Each ball pocketed is worth 1 point. Additional balls can be added to your score. A player is considered to have won if they are able to pocket the eight ball first. If a player does not pocket the eight ball, they lose the game. If the eight ball is pocketed during a foul, the other balls that were pocketed in the course of the foul are pocketed and are spotted. However, the foul does not count towards the points. A player who commits two fouls consecutively is required to be informed before they can play their next shot.
There are three types of balls: solid, striped, and object. These balls are usually smaller than American-style balls and come in a range of colors, including dark violets for the four and twelve balls. The object balls used to be all-red in the past. However, they are often multi-colored these days. They are made from a variety of materials, including wood, fibreglass, and carbon fibre. Most common diameters for balls are 2+1/16 in, 2 in, and 3 in.
The object of the game, however, is to steal the black eight balls. To do this, the player must place all of the balls in his pocket. He must also make sure all balls that have been pounded are found and placed in line with the foot rail. The player with eight balls in his pocket is allowed to place them back on the tables.
You can pocket a basketball without fouling by placing it close to your foot and calling the shot. The foul must be committed within the time frame of the shot. Any other balls must be placed directly in front of the foot spot. A foul does not count towards points. However, a player will be awarded a free shot. The foul may be used with any ball.
The player must keep the ball in his/her own pocket in the event of a shot. The ball that is in the first row must be hit first. If a foul is committed prior to a ball being pocketed, the ball must be re-pocketed. Other balls can be pocketed by the player.
