(15) Balls ? 7 Red, 7 Yellow and 1 Black set out in the triangle, the same way as UK Pool, with the black on the spot in the centre of the table. The white (Cue) ball is placed at one end and the break is the same as UK Pool.
After the break, a colour must be nominated either red or yellow, and the balls have to be potted in to their corresponding coloured pockets, with the black finally being potted in to it?s own black pocket. If the white goes in as a foul ? the white can then be placed anywhere on the table to take the next shot. The rules are the same as the UK Rules.

Crash Pool - Set a time e.g. 2 hours. Set the balls up in the triangle - break ? then start potting the balls in to any coloured pocket, until one is missed ? that is the game over ? the balls which have been potted are counted and that goes towards a score ? the balls are then re-racked and the game starts again ? this is repeated until the 2 hours are up. At the end of the 2 hours all scores are counted and the winner is the one with most balls down. emailoctapool@btinternet.com
When 3 persons play the game of OCTAPOOL:
the yellow balls are removed from the table thus leaving 16 balls to play with. This is unique to OCTAPOOL, as it allows 3 persons to play. The object of the game is to pot the coloured balls into their corresponding coloured pockets, with the black ball being potted last into it?s own black pocket at the end of the game. email aarcee@tiscali.co.uk
