Set up the game

The 1 ball is placed on the foot spot (the top of the triangle), the 6 and 11 balls are placed in the left and right bottom two corners of the triangle, respectively. The rest of the pool balls are placed in the triangle at random. Align the top (ball 1) of the triangle to the second marker on the pool table (the white dots on the wood) and align it to the center of the pool table. Ensure the pool balls are tightly packed together and remove the rack from the pool balls. Decide whether players will call shots or not.
