Game Rules

* The breaking player is selected at random by the CPU.

3-Ball Rules 

This game is played with a diamond shaped rack of three balls numbered consecutively from one through nine.

Object
After the break shot the object balls are struck in consecutive order, the lowest number first, until the last ball is pocketed, which ends the game. The lowest number ball on the table must be hit first. Failure to do so results in ball-in-hand for your opponent An illegally pocketed ball stays down, unless it is the last ball.

Winning the Game
Legally pocketing the last ball.

Combinations
You can hit and pocket balls anytime; as long as you hit the lowest number ball on the table ball first.

Fouls
A foul means to pocket the cue ball, to not strike a cushion after contacting an object ball, or to jump the cue ball off the table. The one exception to this rule is on the break shot. If a foul is committed on the break shot then the cue ball is in hand behind the kitchen line.

Penalty for Fouls/Scratching
If a foul is committed, the cue ball is ball in hand, meaning the opponent is allowed to place the cue ball wherever desired.

Balls Jumped off the Table
Balls jumped off the table are considered scratched and are spotted.

8-ball Rules

This game is played with a full rack of fifteen balls. If only one type of ball is pocketed during a break, (stripes or solids) the breaker is assigned that ball type. If both types are made, the breaker shoots again and assignment occurs when one type of ball is pocketed. If no balls are made it’s the next player’s turn to shoot. If the 8-ball is pocketed on the break it is spotted on the foot spot.

Object
Pocket all seven stripes or solid balls, then pocket the 8-ball. Stripes and solids are assigned to a player by pocketing stripes or solid balls. After assignment, you must pocket All your balls before shooting the 8-ball. A player that pockets the 8-ball before pocketing his assigned balls loses game.

Winning the Game
You must pocket all your balls and then the 8-ball in the pocket that you called. 8-ball sunk on the break wins game, except if the cue ball is scratches which causes a loss of game.
