If the black is potted on the break, this counts as a valid shot and is regarding as a win. You play best of three, the first person with two wins advances to next round. It is still considered a win if you scratch on the 8ball, because you were still the first to hit the 8 in. You can shoot from anywhere on the table if you get ball in hand.

All tables are protected, rated tables. All games are regular 8ball rules there are no snooker shots allowed. You can not tap or hide the cue in the hope to get yourself ball in hand, or to give your opponent an impossible leave. You must hit all shots with the purpose of trying to make a ball. The first time you are caught snookering a warning will be issued, and opponent will get bih ( if need be, people must tap cue to get correct person ball in hand). The second time it happens the offending person will be DQ'd and opponent will advance.

CALL YOUR SHOTS

All tables are protected, rated tables. Before you shoot, you must call which ball and which pocket you are trying for. If you do not make your shot, but pocket another ball instead, you must tap cue ball, giving opponent ball in hand. Failure to do this will be a warning the first time, and the second time DQ.

All tables are protected, rated tables. Every shot must be made in one of the corner pockets. If one is sunk in the middle pockets accidently, keep shooting as if it didn't happen. If one is sunk intentionally, you must tap the cue to give your opponent ball in hand. If you pot a ball into a center pocket on purpose, you will give your opponent BIH and receive one warning. If you do it twice, you will be disqualified. If you pot the 8 into a center pocket, you are disqualified automatically.

Played on protected, rated tables. Played just like a normal tourney, except that every shot is to be taken using full power. Before each shot, hold the power meter to full for a few seconds so your opponent can see that your using it. If you fail to shoot at full power, first time is a warning, second time is a DQ.

All tables are protected, rated tables. The point of this game is to win without making any fouls. To become flawless in your game. A foul is doing anything that gives opponent ball in hand. Scratching on break does not count. First person to foul and give opponent ball in hand loses. If a ball in hand situation arises, the game *must* be cancelled by both players.

All tables are protected. rated tables. All balls must be pocketed into the same pocket as the first colored ball goes into. No matter if it was you or your opponent who pockets it. Making a ball into another pocket by accident will be overlooked. However you can not directly aim to pocket a ball in another pocket. The 8 ball must be pocketed into your pocket too. If you fail to aim for your designated pocket, you will be dq'd. You will not be declared the winner if you do not pocket the 8 ball in your pocket.

All games are normal 1v1 games unless otherwise noted. In a true swiss there is a set number of rounds. Everyone plays in every round, unless you ask to be removed before the next round advances.

If you are timed out, you will be removed before the next round is advanced.

A tops'n'tails tournament will, be played on tables with no timers, that are rated, and protectd. The games begins as per a normal game, but when the balls have been decided, ie who is stripes and who is solids, then the player who has solids must pot them all in the top 3 pockets, the player who has stripes must pot them all in the bottom 3 pockets. The 8 ball must be potted in either the top or the bottom in accordance with whether you were stripes or solids, ie, if you were solids, then you must pot the 8 in a top pocket. If you pot a ball in the wrong pocket, you must tap the cue ball back to your opponent, but they must play it from were it lies, no ball in hand can be taken, UNLESS, the tap of the cueball leaves the opponent snookered or the tap is played strategically to leave the opponent a tough shot, or more simple to understand, the cue ball may travel no more than 0.99999 milimeteres on a tap ;) When bih is given under these circumstances, the cue ball may be placed anywhere on the table.

Played as a reg 8 game, rated, protected tables. But, when you get a shot on the 8 ball, your opponent gets to call how the 8 must be sunk, either by banking it, calling a pocket or full power. If you fail to pot the 8 ball and your opponent eventually gets a shot at sinking the 8, you too will then dictate your opponent’s option. Here's the catch, you can't call the same finishing shot twice in a row, for example, if you specified you opponent must bank his first attempt at the 8 ball, you can only specify a pocket or full power if your opponent has another 8 ball opportunity. If you or your opponent fail at the three straight different 8 ball pot chances, then you go back to the first choice for the fourth, and so on. If 8 is pocketed other then how specified by opponent, then you will not be declared the winner. *Note - Cue banks allowed, but no adjacent banks, double or triple banking may not be specified.

Played on training tables, each player shoots till he misses, then he stands and it is his opponents turn. THE CUE MUST BE MOVED BEHIND THE LINE BEFORE EACH SHOT. If one of your balls is behind the line then you must bank the cue off the OPPOSITE (right end of table) end and try to make it. It is played like regular 8, the first to make all their balls plus the 8 wins the game. If you scratch your opponent gets to put 1 of your balls back on the table anywhere they choose as long as it is NOT behind the line. After break please let your opponent know whether you are solids or stripes, makes for less confusion. If you miss on the break, you DO NOT get another chance.

All tables are protected, rated tables. All games are regular 8 ball rules. The only catch is, you are not allowed to use english (The cue ball in upper right hand corner). You can not even use a little bit of backspin.The first time you are caught using english a warning will be issued, and opponent will get bih. The second time it happens the offending person will be DQ'd and opponent will advance.

Training Tables.... best of 3........1v1.......1st player sits....Opponent nominates any ball they like on the table, then the player sitting has to pot that ball in the least amount of shots possible. Opponent has to count the amount of shots by typing on table (like in a 10shot tourney). Then the opponent sits and 1st player nominates ball. Scratching is a foul and IS counted as one shot. So you could have potted the nominated ball in 5 shots but scratched twice which would = 7 shot taken. If you pot the nominated ball and cueball at same time the ball is placed back onto table (say the 8ball spot) and cueball is placed behind the line, and it will count as 1 shot. After a player has potted their nominated ball, the table is reset so that each player starting always starts by breaking a fresh rack. Once both players have potted the nominated balls once and shots been counted, the table is reset and the cycle repeated. This is played as a best of 3 (bo3). A win is gained by the player to pot the ball in the least amount of shots. The winner is the player to get 2 wins.

1v1........Training table........Player 1 sits........Shoots till he/she misses or scratches and then player 2 sits but DOES NOT RESET table they carry on clearing the table. Any ball can b potted except the 8ball which has to be potted last. The player who pots the black (last ball potted dont forget) is declared the winner, even if the white is sunk/scratched. If the 8ball is potted b4 all of the others are potted then it is placed back on to table on its spot or as close a possible.

This game is to be played on protected, un-timed and rated tables. BEFORE the start of the game, you must call TWO Pockets that are Off Limits to your opponent and they must call TWO Pockets that are Off Limits to you as well. Game play is normal with the exception that you MAY NOT sink a ball into a pocket that is off limits to you. If you ACCIDENTALLY slop a ball into an off limit pocket, you must tap and your opponent gets ball in hand. If you INTENTIONALLY shoot a ball into an off limit pocket, you can and will be disqualified. (*Note - Balls slopped in on the break DO NOT count.

This game is to be played on un-timed RATED and protected tables. Game play is normal with the EXCEPTION of the shot on the 8 ball. When shooting the 8ball your OPPONENT gets to call how the 8 must be sunk. They will choose Banking Full Power or Calling Your Pocket. If a Bank or Full Power is called by the opponent the player shooting gets to choose which pocket to pot the 8 in. When calling the pocket you MAY NOT choose a pocket that is blocked by balls as this would be considered a snooker. If there is a scratch while on the 8 the player MUST spot the cue ball anywhere on the table BEFORE the type of shot is called. You MAY NOT call the same type of shot twice in a row you must choose one of the other choices. (I.E - You may not call Bank twice in a row) If a player misses 3 times on the 8 you may choose ANY of the 3 shots again (rotation style). If 8 is pocketed other then how specified by opponent it will be considered a loss.

Player has to sink his/her balls in the same color order as their opponent. If a players sinks red, yellow then misses.... Player 2 must shoot and sink red, yellow. Once the player has made the same shots in color and in order, then he/she can continue to shoot at their balls wherever they want. If you are unable to sink your balls in order because the balls was sunk by the other player or you made 2 at once, continue with the next color in the order. Ball in hand is permitted. Pocketing balls in the wrong order is ball in hand and player must tap the cue. This is played on protected and rated tables.

• you play as any regular 8 game but your yellow ball must be the last ball before you pocket the 8 ball as usual
• 8 ball on the break is a rerack and you can sink any yellow ball on the break
• if the yellow stripe is made on the break the player who gets stripes has the advantage to continue as any regular game. Same thing goes for the yellow solid
• if you pocket your opponent's yellow ball during the game it is considered as a good shot and game continues since you just give your opponent an advantage
• but if you pocket your own yellow ball at the wrong time for any reason, having your other balls still on the table, then you lose the game automatically...both players are requested to cancell the game and report results in the lobby
• you can always use your yellow ball to do combos but your yellow ball must remain on the table after you make that shot
• there is only one chance when you can sink your yellow ball if you make a combo, it is when you got only 2 color balls left on the table and the yellow ball sinks after the other ball goes in the pocket . If you do it viceversa you lose the game. example : you are stripes and you got 2 balls left on the table, let's say the blue stripe and the yellow stripe. if you try a to do a combo with these 2 balls, the solid blue must go in the pocket first and then the yellow stripe (if you get lucky) but never the other way round or you lose the game
• so a special strategy is required to play this game by leaving the yellow and the black the very last balls to end the game
• all other rules for regular 8 games are applicable in this tournament

This game is played on training and protected tables, first player on left hand of the bracket plays first, cue ball must be moved and allocated anywhere behind the white line before the break

• hole 1 ( red ) = top right pocket
• hole 2 ( green ) = bottom right pocket
• hole 3 ( blue or orange) = bottom middle pocket
• hole 4 ( yellow ) = bottom left pocket
• hole 5 ( pink ) = top left pocket
• hole 6 ( purple or black ) = top middle pocket

• you start the game from hole 1 and try to sink any ball in that pocket
• if you sink a ball in hole 1 you continue shooting by trying to sink another ball in hole 2 and so on, always in clockwise direction
• you cant proceed to the next hole until any player has made a ball in the correct pocket
• as long as you dont miss or scratch you continue shooting
• once you miss or scratch you stop shooting then count the balls you pocketed and stand up for your opponent to continue shooting
• after the break, both players must never rerack when they take seat. they just need to touch the q ball gently and must not move any ball on the table. he/she needs to sink any ball in the hole his/her opponent just missed and continue the game from that hole, always in clockwise direction
• there is a point value for each ball. each and every hole got a designated color.if you make any ball in the correct pocket you get just 1 point ( PAR) and if you sink the designated color in the correct pocket you get 2 extra points ( BIRDIE). example: if you make a red ball in hole 1 thats a BIRDIE (3 points) and if you make a blue ball in hole 1 you just get 1 point for that shot. when its your turn to shot at holes 3 and 6 ( middle pockets) you get a much higher chance to get a BIRDIE because there are 2 colors designated for each pocket.
• the only chance to get an EAGLE is on the break. players can always sink balls on the break including the black ball.on the break, if you get the correct color in the correct pocket thats an EAGLE ! and we count 5 points for each EAGLE. so if you get so lucky and make 2 balls on the break, let's say one pink in hole 5 and one blue in hole 3 then you get 10 points.
• all balls pocketed during the game should not be put back on the table.
• game ends when all 15 balls are pocketed and the player with highest points wins the match

1. Game is played on protected training tables. First name invites second name sits first.
2. Move cue ball at least 1 ball width on break.
3. Players shoot to clear all balls off table and COUNT each shot until all balls are potted.
4. Second player does same until all balls are potted, ONLY 1 rack each.
5. WINNER is player with LOWEST amount of shots taken to clear table of all balls.
6. Scratch counts 2 points, Scratch on break = player adds 2 points and continues to shoot.
7. You may shoot ANY ball at ANY time, Including 8 ball.

When players reach the 8 ball they must choose a pocket and must stick with that pocket to sink the 8 ball until end of the game. Basically, if a player chooses the top middle pocket on his first attempt, they then must nominate the top middle pocket for each shot thereafter. Obviously opponents can choose a different pocket for when they reach the 8 ball.
