Opening Break Shot (Regulation 2.1, and 2.2)Īll fifteen object balls are tightly racked in no particular required order in a standard triangle with the apex ball placed as nearly as possible on the foot spot. As long as all those involved in play agree before play begins, virtually everything is negotiable in after hours contests. One should note that with One Pocket's long tradition of after hours play, many other creative variations in handicapping have been invented over time. Standard handicaps are created by adjusting the required winning score for either one or both players, either for all breaks or for specified player's breaks. One pocket may be handicapped either by agreement between players or as designated by a tournament official. ![]() The first player or team to legally score eight balls into their own pocket wins the game, whether they pocket their game-winning ball by their own shot, or as a result of their opponent's shot. ![]() There is no requirement to call your shot in One Pocket billiards, and there is no special order or significance to any numbered object balls. The other four pockets are neutral pockets, and any balls pocketed in a neutral pocket are spotted at the end of the shooter's, or team's inning. One Pocket is a game for two players or two teams, where each player or team can only score into one of the two corner pockets on the foot end of the table, while the other player or team can only score into the other corner pocket at the foot end of the table.
