- 4. EQUIPMENTS Cue Stick - a stick used to hit the ball.The length of the cue stick is around 55 inches, however there is no fixed length as some cue sticks are around 58 inches.
- 5. Mechanical Bridge - is also called a rake and is used sometimes as a supporting instrument for the cue stick. EQUIPMENTS
- 6. EQUIPMENTS Billiards Chalk- it is rubbed on the tip of the cue stick before every shot, a player rubs the tip with chalk to increase the friction between the tip and the ball in order to increase the hitting efficiency.
- 7. EQUIPMENTS Cue Ball - the white ball which, struck by the cue, collides with the other balls to achieve the object of the particular game. The red spot allows for a consistent reference for eyesight and cue tip positioning.
- 8. EQUIPMENTS Billiard Balls - the two sets include seven striped number balls and seven solid colored number balls. There is also a ball having number eight in white and the rest in black.This ball is called as a black eight-ball.
- 9. EQUIPMENTS Billiards Table it is a six pocket table, or we can say six hole table. The pockets are four in four corners and two pockets are in the middle of the two lengths of the table.The table is rectangular in shape having a length of 2.75m and breadth of 1.37m.

- 23. Start off with the 1-ball at the front of the rack. Make sure that the 8-ball is in the center of the rack. Make sure the bottom corner balls are a stripe and a solid. Place all the other balls at random. Line the apex (the first ball) up with the middle diamond on the side of the pool table. Make sure that the balls are tightly packed together. Preserving the tightness of the rack, lift the rack from the balls. HOW TO RACK
- 25. HOW TO START THE GAME The game starts with a break and players try to hit all of their assigned balls into pockets using the cue ball (the white ball).

- 28. Object of the Game The object of pool is to pot all of your designated balls (either stripes or solids) and then pot the 8 ball, thus winning the game. As pool matches often consist of several games in a best out of format, players attempt to win as many games as needed to win the match. Players must use their skills in both attack and safety play, as well as tactical nous to help them win the match. Players & Equipment To play pool, the following pieces of equipment are required: Table: The table used in pool is approximately 9 feet by 4.5 feet although games can often be played on differing sized tables. Balls: 16 balls in total, comprising a white cue ball, seven striped balls, seven solid balls, and one black ball (8 ball). Cues: Players have a cue each which can be made from wood, carbon fiber, or fiberglass and this is used for striking the cue ball. Chalk: To ensure they have more control over their shots, each player tends to chalk the end of their cue to ensure there is good contact between the cue and the ball.
- 29. Scoring There is no score as such in pool with both players simply attempting to pot all of their designated object balls and then potting the 8 ball into the pocket that they have chosen. However, pool matches are often played over a number of games, so for example, in a best of nine frame match, the first player to reach five frames would be declared the winner. Winning the Game 8 Ball pool is won when one of the following occurs: A player pots all of their designated balls and then legally pockets the 8 ball into their nominated pocket. The opposing player illegally pots the 8 ball before clearing their own set of balls. The 8 ball is knocked of the table by the opposition.
- 30. Rules of Pool The rules of pool are some of the most contested of any sport, with slightly differing variations being played in different countries, cities, areas, and even establishments. However, the World Pool Billiard Association (WPA) have produced a standardized set of rules for both amateur and professionals by which to abide. Before the game begins, the object balls should be placed in a triangular rack and positioned at the lower end of the table so that the apex ball of the rack lies on the foot spot. The order of the balls should be random apart from the black 8-ball, which should be placed in the middle of the third row. The white ball should be placed anywhere behind the service line on the table. If it is the first game in a match, a coin should be tossed to decide who gets to choose whether to break. After that, the break is taken in turns. To make a legal break, the player must hit the balls and ensure that four balls hit cushions and that the cue ball doesnt go down a pocket. If the 8-ball is potted on the break, the player is entitled to ask for a re-rack.
- 31. The first player to pot an object ball will then have to continue to pot the balls from that category (stripes or solids). The opposition player will have to pot the other group A player will continue to make shots until they foul, or fail to pot an object ball. Then it is the turn of the opposing player. Play continues like this for the remainder of the game. If a player commits a foul, the opposition player is entitled to place the cue ball anywhere on the table. There are numerous fouls in pool, some of the most common being: Failing to hit your own object balls. Hitting the cue ball off the table. Potting one of the opposition's object balls. Hitting the cue ball twice. Pushing the cue ball rather than striking it. A player taking a shot when it is not their turn. Once all of a players balls have been potted, they must then sink the 8 ball. They must first designate which pocket they intend to pot the 8-ball in and then do as stated. Failure to do so will result in the opposition player returning to the table. If the player pots the 8 ball in any other pocket other than the nominated one,
- 32. 9-BALL RULES OBJECT OF THE GAME Nine Ball is played with nine object balls numbered one through nine and a cue ball. On each shot the first ball the cue ball contacts must be the lowest-numbered ball on the table, but the balls need not be pocketed in order. If a player pockets any ball on a legal shot, he remains at the table for another shot, and continues until he misses, fouls, or wins the game by pocketing the 9-ball. After a miss, the incoming player must shoot from the position left by the previous player, but after any foul the incoming player may start with the cue ball anywhere on the table. Players are not required to call any shot. a match ends when one of the players has won the required number of games.
- 33. RACKING THE BALLS The object balls are racked in a diamond shape, with the one ball at the top of the diamond and on the foot spot, the nine ball in the center of the diamond, and the other balls in random order, racked as tightly as possible. the game begins with cue ball in hand behind the head string.
