The mole is selected by the TD and only the TD and the mole know who the mole is of course. If you are selected to be booted you have 20secs to guess who the mole is (CANT be the TD) if you guess correctly the mole will be booted instead of you, If the mole is booted the TD will pick a new one. You will have 30secs to shoot when it is your turn to shoot, if you take longer you will be booted or put in the hot seat.

Rated Table
Played exactly the same way as a regular 1v1 tournament, except when a person gets to the 8. Before they shoot, they have to wait for their opponent to say what pocket they have to hit it in, then that is the pocket designated for the 8 for them for the duration of the game.

The object of this game is to clean the table along the Regular 8 rules. The difference is the TD will announce a pocket at the beginning of the tourney that you are NOT allowed to shoot at. If you do so, on accident or on purpose, you lose.

Four Corners

You must pocket all balls into the 4 corner pockets. In other words, you cannot use the two middle pockets! If you make one in the middle, you must tap to your opponent and give them Ball in Hand.

You MUST use full power on all shots. That is the power bar at maximum power allowed. Please be sure your opponent sees your power bar before shooting.
THE BAR MUST BE IN FULL RED BEFORE SHOOTING, AND OPPONENT MAY ONLY THEN SAY OK TO SHOOT. If you forget, you must tap and give opponent Ball in Hand.

Guys & Gals

Rated Table
Shoot the 8 ball into the pocket your last ball went into (whether you shot it or not). Make sure to call your pocket right after your last ball is sunk so there is clarity between you and your opponent.  If 8 ball is hanging in a pocket it's an automatic re-rack.

You play as you would for a regular Last Pocket game. When it gets down to your last pocket, it is reversed. Bottom Left = Top Right, Top Left = Bottom Right, Top Middle = Bottom Middle and visa versa. If 8 ball is hanging in a pocket it's an automatic re-rack.

Rated Table
Normal game of pool.

Rack N Run [RNR]
Practice Table
It does not matter who goes first, but if you can not decide the player with the higher yahoo rating chooses who shoots first. Player 1 sits and breaks as normal (random, from the left of the line). Continue shooting until the player misses or scratches. The total number of balls sunk is the players score for that turn. Number of racks to be announced by the TD. The player with the higher score advances.
There are 2 styles to RNR:   Full Rack = IF you complete a full rack, you stand and let opponent shoot. If tie, continue with a new match of RNR  Continuous = Continuous Rack is where if you complete a full rack, you may rerack and carry onwards until you have scratched or missed shot. Although, you MUST sink the next ball on break from a new rack.

Rack N Run [Prison]
Practice Table
Same as regular RnR except you can only pot stripes! Break does not count as a shot. If
you don't make a stripe, your turn is over. Once all 7 stripes are potted, you must pot the
8 then you may start a a new rack.

Scrambled Eggs
Unrated Table
The cue ball can be placed anywhere on the table to start (including to the right of the line). No Ball in Hand after your break. Object of the game is to make all the balls one by one without ever touching another ball. If another ball is touched at any time during your shot, your turn is over. Count the amount of balls you sunk MINUS the one you made when another ball was touched. The next player re-sets the table and has their turn. The player that pots the most balls wins. This can be 1, 2, or 3 rounds (determined by the TD).

Screw Thy Neighbor
Rated Table
Played like Crazy 8 cept the pocket for the 8 to be potted in changes with each attempt.

Seek & Destroy
Practice Table
Opponent nominates any ball they like on the table. Then the player sitting has to pot that ball in the least amount of shots. Opponent must count each shot typing it in the room. If you pot both the target ball and the white in the same shot, the target ball is respotted and the white placed behind the line (counts as a foul). The winner is the one with the least amount of shots taken to pot their target ball.  Fouls are as follows: 1 point added to total per scratch.

Suicide
Unrated Table
The FIRST player to pot the 8 ball, AFTER solids or stripes is determined wins. If you SCRATCH when you sink the 8, it is a LOSS. If you sink the 8 ball on the break, it is a rerack no exceptions.   There are 2 styles to Suicide:   BIH = Ball In Hand Allowed.   NO BIH = No Ball In Hand Allowed. If in this case, you must place cue ball back in same position as it was layed, or you will be forfeited upon TD's decision.

Unrated Table
You must pot the Green, Yellow, and Red balls in that order then pot the 8. The first to do these 4 in order will win. If wanted, you may make other balls also.

Triple Threat Suicide
Unrated Table
Just the same as Suicide, one flaw is that the TD will name two color balls, only way to win is if you sink both the color balls at any time, then go for the 8 ASAP. If you are solids/stripes, you must ONLY sink the two colors as you are either solids/stripes.
You MAY NOT sink the 8 ball before the two colored balls given for the tourney. If so, it is game win to opponent.

Underneath
Rated Table
The twist to this trny is you must sink the 8 ball underneath your yahoo id and avatar. Example: If you are on the left you must sink the 8 in the top left pocket. Your opponent if on the right..must sink the 8 ball in top right pocket Any other pocket and YOU LOSE!
