9 Ball Pool

A green felt table sets the scene. 9 Ball Pool uses the classic nine-ball rack, with the 1 ball at the front of the diamond and the 9 ball locked in the middle. The rest of the numbered balls fill the rack in random spots. A five-minute round puts speed next to precision. Game points come from clean pocketed shots and legal play.

How to play?

Strike the cue ball into the lowest-numbered target first. Send the balls into pockets in rising number order, reading the shot line before each hit. A foul breaks the run. The match ends only after a legal shot drops the 9 ball. Beat the clock, sink all nine, and post the highest score possible through accurate potting.
