rules to play 3 ball pool

The remaining pool balls, counting each shot as one point. To make the game quicker, most groups will only allow a maximum of five shots. So, if youve taken your fourth shot and still have balls on the table, you automatically have a five and your turn is over. You can, however, play the version where each person has an unlimited number of shots to clear the table, but you usually play single rounds in this case instead of three rounds.

The person who is last on the list will rack for the person who is first. After the first person is finished shooting, they in turn rack for the next person in line and this continues throughout the list with the previous person racking for the next person in line. There are two ways to rack the balls. You can either rack them in a straight line or rack them in a triangle.

The next person will take their five shots and tally their score and this will continue until each person on the list has shot one round.
