What is Classic Pool?

Break the rack, pot your group (solids or stripes), then pot the black to win. Potting the black early, or fouling while potting it, loses the game.

The server simulates each shot and sends the ball paths for everyone to replay.

How to play

Six steps from the break to the black.

  1. 01

    Choose rules

    The host keeps the official Blackball preset, or picks Custom to set fouls, calls and group assignment.

  2. 02

    Break

    Place the cue ball behind the baulk line and shoot.

  3. 03

    Aim and shoot

    Aim, set the power and press Shoot once. If calls are on, choose the pocket first.

  4. 04

    Take your group

    The first ball potted decides your group.

  5. 05

    Free shots

    After a foul your opponent gets a free shot as the rules say.

  6. 06

    Win

    Clear your group, then pot the black.

Rules

What the server does.

Fouls
  • Hitting the wrong ball first, potting the cue ball or no cushion after contact is a foul.
Custom rules
  • Custom lets the host choose the foul penalty, the calls and how groups are assigned. The official preset ignores them.
Counting Pool
  • The host switches the game to Counting for 3 to 6 players on one rack. Every pot scores a point, a foul costs one and a legal black is worth two. Highest score wins.
Fair play
  • The server plays every shot and decides every foul.

Settings

The host sets these in the lobby before the game starts. They are fixed once it begins.
