Billiards (9-Ball)

Object of the Game:
A player wins by being the first to pocket the 9-ball.

Procedure:

Nine balls are racked in a diamond shape with the 1-ball over the foot spot and the 9-ball in the center of the rack.

The 1-ball is the object ball for the break.  If the 1-ball is not pocketed on the break, the opponent takes over and plays the balls as they lie.

Object balls must be played in numerical order.  The cue ball must hit the lowest numbered ball on the table before touching any other balls.  If accomplished, any pocketed ball counts and the player continues to shoot.

After a foul occurs, the new shooter can place the cue ball anywhere on the table.

Balls are not spotted after a foul.

The first player to pocket the 9-ball legally wins.
