One of the most beloved sports is pool. You can play it on many different sizes of tables. It's a challenging game, and it requires a lot of skill. There are many types of pool. The most popular are the eight-ball and continuous pools. These games require skill and can either be played solo, in pairs or as a group sport.
The object of the game is to get all designated balls. This includes cue balls, eight-balls and other object ball. Each player gets one pocket at the bottom of the table. They continue until they miss or foul. A foul means that the player must return the ball to the cue ball and attempt a new shot. There are many fouls that could happen, including hitting the cue balls into objects, breaking, breaking and jumping.
The World Standardized Rules of Pool are the official rules. They are used in numerous international tournaments and other organizations as well as the Billiard Congress of America. If a foul is committed the ball that was taken must be returned to the pocket and the opponent's cue ball pocketed counts as a point.
Eight-ball is a game where the goal is to get the black eight ball. Depending upon the game variation, the other balls may be numbered 1-9. If the player pockets a ball into his own pocket, he wins the game.
A normal foul can result in a penalty of a minus. The ball must immediately be racked if it is caught in the middle of a foul. After the player has taken his next shot, he may choose to restore the position he was in before the foul. Alternativly, he might decide to keep his ball and give the opponent a point if he places the ball in his own pocket.
Another type is the ball and hand foul. This occurs when a player touches the cue ball without having his or her foot on the floor. Before taking a shot, a player must announce the pocketed ball. Afterward, the ball that was pocketed in the course of the foul must be as close to the foot spot as possible.
A player who commits more than two fouls at once must be warned before taking their next shot. A third foul can result in the game being lost if the player does not agree to a penalty. Example: If the player breaks during the first inning of play, he/she will be awarded a minus point of -10.
Non-player interference can also be considered a foul. Non-player interfere is defined as the case where the ball is pushed or bumped against an opponent or an unscheduled lamp fixture. If the ball is pushed or bumped by an opponent, the foul does not count.
