How to play!

YOUR TABLE IS YOUR TEAM!!      Pick YOUR OWN TEAM from the available players in the lobby or bring them with you!

All players on the TEAM/TABLE try to beat the other TEAMS/TABLES in making the PATTERN using ONLY the balls required.

The PATTERN does NOT have to be the same color scheme as shown in the examples.   As long as the PATTERN is right, who is what color doesn't matter.

You MUST WORK TOGETHER to WIN!   Anything goes!   Table talk, reseating, hit or don't hit!!   The choice is yours.. & your teammates!!

 

But there are NO NUMBERS on the BALLS!!   How can anyone possibly keep track of which ball is which?   EASY!

The balls have a specific place they will go to WHEN HIT or when ENTERING THE HOME TRIANGLE.     It will NEVER CHANGE.

Even though the pattern shown is from BLUE's point of view...

Any color can be used as long as the pattern made is correct.

.

Other Rules:

  • Do not let any of your teams WRONG BALLS end up in the home triangle!!   The spaces leading up to it are ok, just cant be inside the triangle itself.

  • Its up to your team to keep track of each players' BALLS

  • If the WRONG BALLS do end up in the HOME TRIANGLE, the team can either forfeit the game OR reseat & start over!

YOU MAY RESEAT as MANY TIMES as YOU WANT !!
But the more you reseat, the greater the chance other tables can get ahead BUT.. they may have to reseat too! 

 

Tips from other players:

  • If your not sure which ball is which - HIT IT - & see where it goes in the nest.   Be careful thou, if you have AUTO ON you may not be able to UNDO the move!

  • Keep certain BALLS on a safety to keep track of them.

  • You have to get out ALL 4 BALLS before you can hit another BALL or ball 4 will never come out.

  • Be carefull of any ball you hit making sure its not blocking BALLs that player may need out.

 

Host will run a countdown in the lobby.   Use this time to make sure all teamies are ready.   All players should have their thumbs up EXCEPT YELLOW.

When the countdown reaches 0, Host will say ALL START & yellow players will thumb up allowing ALL TABLES to start at once.

Its YOUR TEAMS JOB to make sure everyone is ready!!   The players in the YELLOW seat MUST know how to set the options !!
