GENERAL
There are sixteen balls used, fifteen coloured and one white.
The white ball is the cue ball and is first played from behind the spot at the head of the table, at the coloured balls which are placed in the form of a triangle at the foot of the table (use triangular frame furnished for this purpose).
One ball only allowed on the first stroke.
The cue ball is afterwards played from where it lies on the table; the object of the game is to pocket as many of the coloured balls as possible.
A round ends when all the coloured balls have been pocketed. Each ball pocketed counts one for player making the stroke. Pocketing the cue ball loses one for player making the stroke.
If the cue ball is pocketed, the next stroke must be made from within the string and on some ball outside the string.
The game may be any number of points mutually agreed upon.
It is optional with the player whether one or more balls be allowed on the break, and whether the number of balls pocketed in one turn be limited to three.
