What's The Difference Between A Pool Table & Snooker Table & Billiard Table

[Cliff Rogers]

A fence? Sheer bloody luxury.... when I was a boy, the house yard was 6000 acres so over the fence mean something.

Back in Perth, which was the last time I played pool, we called the solid coloured balls (1-7) smalls and (9-15) bigs.

Makes sense really.

Absolutely!

Pool was an important part of me mis-spending my youth.

Pool was the SECOND most important part of me mis-spending my youth.

So now to get you all
What are the proper rules of 8 ball regarding a miss,, in off, hitting the wrong ball, hitting the 8 first , in off the 8 after hitting your ball first, when does the opponent get two shots , does any foul on the 8 cost the game , and finally where do their rules come from
Cause I have played around Australia and have seen so many diffrent rules it actually becomes difficult to win even when you have the skill espically in TAS.

I have gotten a few black eyes over this issue over the years.
The best rules for simplicity are Nth Qld rules.

2 shots every foul and 2 on the black.

One line sums it up.

Oh also if you haven't sunk a ball before the black is sunk...., Up on the table ......pants, pants, pants. If you refused you were kicked out.
