Number of game balls on the billiard table

In order to start, you need to know all the basic rules of the game of billiards "American". So, the game will be conducted with the help of sixteen balls. All but one have their own number. Numbered balls from one to seven have a "solid" color. From nine to fifteen "striped", this means that in the middle they are divided by a strip of a certain color.

Even if the ball accidentally gets into the pocket, it will be considered a loss to that player that it did. The white ball does not have a number, it is also called a "beat". All the punches in the game will only happen with the help of it.

Arrangement of balls on the table

In the game of billiards "American" the rules accurately indicate how to place the balls. To do this, use a triangle in which all balls, except white, are densely placed. The front ball should be at the rear mark. The back mark is a place on the billiard table. In the next row you need to put on one of the balls of different colors, that is, one "one-piece" and one "striped". In the third row on the center put a black ball, and on the sides two different. For the fourth row, two balls of "whole" and "striped" are used. In the last row put all the balls not used before. There is one rule that standing balls in the last row on the sides should be of different colors. However, another method of arranging billiards "American" is often used. The Russian pyramid in this case is set so that the balls as much as possible alternate.

Possibility of first strike

In order to start the game, you need to decide who will break this triangle. To do this, both opponents put two any balls in the part of the "home" table. Balls should be on the same line, as well as a single distance from the central longitudinal line. Opponents must simultaneously strike on the ball. Wins the one whose ball after touching the opposite side as close as possible will be in its original place. The rules of the game of billiards "American" specify that if the ball of one participant touched the side board, then he loses. In the event that such an error occurred in two players, you will need to replay. But almost always, if you go with a friend to the billiard room, it will be much easier just to negotiate.

Party start

After you decided on who will be the first to beat, you can start a game in the billiards "American". A blow on a white ball should be applied only with a sticker (this is a rubber part for a kk). If, however, the impact occurred by another part of the cue or the hand touched the ball, then this is counted as an error in which the player changes. In billiards, an error is called a foul. If the triangle is broken, but none of the balls fell into the pocket, then the game continues the opponent. In the event that the "cue ball" takes off at the table or falls into the pocket, it must be returned to its original place. But there is another rule that a white ball can be put on any point on the table. As you play, you need to agree in advance with your opponent.

Also, many people think that the pyramid is considered to be broken only if at least four balls hit the sides. If this does not happen, the rival can make a choice, leave everything as is, or replay itself. This rule should also be discussed before the game.

You can win with the first strike only if the black ball hits the pocket. This expense of events happens very rarely. When the black ball flies out of the pool table, it is returned to the table and placed at a certain point. Foul is counted when, after the first blow, the cue ball gets into the pocket.

Course of the game

Once the pyramid has been broken, players need to score any ball, except black. As soon as one of the balls is in the pocket, the table is considered to be closed. If the player has forgotten the "striped" ball, then they will need to score. If "integral" means, then, it will be played by them.

Also, the player receives a foul if, in addition to his ball, the opponent's ball has fallen into the pocket. As a result of the foul, the player changes.

There are some prohibitions related to the shock. For example, a cue should never slide on a ball. Or, when after hitting any of the balls touches the cue, the foul will be scored. In the game, a situation may occur that the "cue ball" and any other ball will be very tightly stacked with each other, in this case it will not be possible to beat directly.

End of the party

As soon as all "your" balls were clogged, you must also score and black. It should be scored in a certain pocket. The pier, in which the eighth ball should be, is opposite to the place where your last hammered ball hit. In the event that a player has forgotten the 8th ball earlier, then defeat is counted.
