4 Corners All games played on Rated, Protected tables. Played as Reg 8 but you must sink your balls in corner pockets only. If you sink a ball in a middle pocket, give opponent ball in hand. ( if you sink one in middle and one in corner in same shot then you continue on).
10 Shot Played on training table. You must sink as many balls as you can in 10 shots. (opponent counts the shots) Break counts as a shot. If you scratch it also counts as a shot and you then play on from the default location. No BIH at all except on break.
Alphabet All games played on Rated, Protected tables. You must sink your balls in this order, Blue, Green, Orange, Pink, Purple, Red, and Yellow. (Alphabetical order). If you sink the wrong ball, give opponent ball in hand. If you sink one ball in the right order and another goes in, it is still your turn. 8 ball is still to be sunk last.
Every ball you make must be made by a Bank shot or a Combo shot. A Bank shot is when you bank the 8 ball or Que ball off a rail.

If a ball goes in without doing either of these, you must tap and give opponent BIH. The break does not count.
