The game arose, presumably in India, as a pastime for soldiers in the 1870s. Snooker is played with 22 balls, made up of one white ball (the cue ball); 15 red balls, valued at 1 point each; one yellow, 2 points; one green, 3; one brown, 4; one blue, 5; one pink, 6; and one black, 7. Players try to pocket first the red and then the nonred balls, scoring one point for each red and the number value of the others. The skill involved consists of developing one scoring stroke after another. Another penalty often enforced when players commit a scratch is that they must take one of their own balls and place it back onto the table. In both one-pocket and bank pool all fifteen object balls are racked entirely at random, with the center of the apex ball placed directly over the foot spot. The object balls are the 15 colored balls in the standard Pool set. The objective of a billiards game is to score a fixed amount of points, or to score the highest number of points within a set time limit that is agreed upon at the beginning of the game.

The cue ball is solid white, the ‘8-ball’ solid black - though here it has no number on it, it’s just widely accepted that it behaves like the American 8-ball. The rest of the balls are divided into seven red balls and seven yellow balls, which take the place of the spots and stripes of American 8-ball. The same rules apply - the first ball potted gives the player the choice to play ‘reds’ or ‘yellows,’ but there’s no chance to play numerically. The chosen ‘type’ of ball is then theirs for the rest of the game. The player must first pocket a red ball and then try to pocket any colour he may choose, scoring the value of the ball that he has pocketed. A player continues at the table for as long as he succeeds in scoring. Former double world champion Ronnie Alcano, lead player of Bugsy Promotions, and battle-scarred Warren Kiamco made the Final Four against former world champions Mika Immonen of Finland and Johnny Archer of the United States, respectively, in the star-studded 33rd US Open 9-Ball Championship in Chesapeake, Virginia. Then we come full circle for the yellow 9-ball to win the game.

Then watch what the shooter did. When you see a game, watch each pool player - intensely. Watch and learn from any pool player - including the good, the bad, and the ugly. For the bar-banger (an insulting term of any bad pool player), there are the simple pleasures of knocking candy-colored balls to pockets. The formula is basically very simple. Here is the simple explanation. The terms "American" or "US" as applied here refer generally to North American usage. In American six-wicket, this is termed "deadness", and a separate board is required to keep track of the deadness for all four balls. On a coin operated table, the size of the cue ball is normally bigger than the other balls due to its mechanism. A native of Pampanga, Reyes capped his achievements by winning the World Pool Championship in Cardiff, Wales, in 1999 at age 45. Reyes, who is now 54, skipped the 2008 US Open due to health reasons. The traditional mahogany billiards table is still in use, but tables are now generally made of other woods and synthetic materials.

This is the cheaper option and one that you’ll find most commonly in public pool tables and those designed for home, but the performance of the ball will usually be a lot slower on this type of material. While slate tables look incredibly sturdy (because they are), MDF tables look a bit flimsy. By a corner table two friends are talking, what is billiards recounting anecdotes of their youth. The Carrera Septima at the corner of the old theatre Jorge Eliercer Gaitán seems empty for a Saturday night. Salvaging old films is a major problem for film archivists (see film preservation). I see my face multiplied by the shards of glass and I am taken by surprise at the yellow glow that permeates the venue. The game is played with 22 balls, made up of one white ball (the cue ball), 15 red balls, and six numbered coloured balls including one yellow 2, one green 3, one brown 4, one blue 5, one pink 6, and one black (valued at 7 points). To begin, the balls are arranged as follows: all reds in a pyramid with its apex on the pyramid spot; black on the billiard spot near the foot of the table; pink touching the apex of the pyramid; blue at the center spot; and green, brown, and yellow at the left, center, and right of the straight line of the D, a semicircular area at the head of the table.
