Pool Rules

The game is played on a six pocket table with a standard set of fifteen numbered and colored object balls and a white cue ball. A standard set of multi-color solids-and-stripes pool balls are used. Object balls are racked in a triangle with the 15-ball as the apex ball, placed at the foot spot.
