Originally from France
Played on a giant pool table measuring 3.6 x 6.6 meters!
has 2 variations - the game of 8 and 9.
The footballs used are of 2 types of size 3: white weighted and non-weighted colored balls.

The game of 8

Typically, games can be played as singles or doubles. However, don't hesitate to have as many members in both teams! The more fun we have...or not.

Set up

As in billiard games, 15 numbered balls are arranged in a triangle. The 1 ball is placed at the top of the triangle, and the 8 ball in the middle of the third row, leaving everything else randomly placed around the 8 ball.

How it is played

The player pocketing the first ball can choose which group of target balls, solid or striped. The first player to pocket all the balls in their group, then ball #8, wins the game. During play, a player continues to play as long as each catch pockets their own balls and commits no fouls.

Faults

- When the following fouls are committed, the opponent can play twice if he does not commit an infraction during the first attempt:

o touch the opponent's ball first

o the white ball does not touch that of the player himself

- If the white ball is pocketed, the opponent can place it anywhere for the next shot.

- Ultimately, a player loses if the white ball is pocketed or leaves the table at the same time as the 8 ball, or if the 8 ball is pocketed before all of his target balls are pocketed.

Additional rules during a doubles (or multi-player team) match

Player rotation scheme during a double match:

Player A of team 1
Player A of team 2
Player B of team 1
Player B of team 2

The rules are essentially the same as for individual games, except that members of the same team can help the player in action by catching the cue ball and pocketing a ball from their target group. This is called a pass. However, for the pass to be valid, the white ball must be in motion and cross the middle of the game table before the second player deflects it. The pass cannot be used to pocket the 8 ball. An invalid pass will result in the opposing team being able to play twice

The game of 9

Set up

In the game of 9, the balls numbered 1 to 9 are arranged in a diamond very similar to the game of 8: ball 1 is placed at the top of the diamond, and ball 9 in the center, leaving everything else randomly placed around it. of the 9 ball.

How it is played

The game of 9 is won by pocketing the 9 ball in several turns each time. However, to do this, the player must always touch the lowest ball with the cue ball. Unlike the game of 8, the balls do not need to be pocketed in any numerical order! A player continues to play as long as each strike pockets a ball and no foul has been committed, or wins by pocketing the 9 ball.

Faults

- When the following fouls are committed, the opponent can play twice if he does not commit an infraction during the first attempt:

o touch a ball without the lowest number

o the white ball does not touch a ball

- If the white ball is pocketed, the opponent can place it anywhere in the next round.

- Balls pocketed during a fault are not put back on the table.
