Actually just pool rather than pool AND snooker. If I'd've written Pool rules youse'd all think I were talking about stuff like no running, no diving etc. (tho these apply to pool and snooker as well.)
Anyhoo, been playing a bit of pool on a really old second hand table out in the shed lately and was wondering what the interpretations on a few of the rules were form any of youse.
(to settle some debates you see.)
1. after the white is pocketed by player A, is player B allowed to:
a) Take the shot from anywhere behind the line
b) Take the shot from anywhere on the line, OR
c) Take the shot from anywhere inside the "D"*
(No backtables of course)
2) Does the "in off the eight" rule (automatic disqualification for pocketing the white after touching the eight ball last) apply:
a) When it occurs at any stage during the game OR
b) Only when that player is on the eight ball itself.*
Also does anybody know how to rack em up properly? I know the black is in the middle but I think there's a system for the rest and I can't remember what it is.
(PS the "*" stands for what I thought the rules were which are often different to what I'm being told in the shed and at the pub so I want to know if I'm being shafted)
