Straight pool: - Off wikipedia

Straight pool, also called 14.1 continuous.

In straight pool, the shooter may attempt to pocket any ball on the table.

The object is to reach a set number of points determined by agreement before the game. One point is scored for each ball pocketed where no foul is made.

A typical game might require a player to score 100 points, meaning at least 100 balls must be pocketed to win.

In professional venues, straight pool is usually played to 150 points.

Straight pool is a call-pocket game, meaning the player must indicate the intended object ball and pocket on every shot. How the ball reaches the pocket is irrelevant, as long as the called ball enters the called pocket.



Ye, I play this game type on other pool sites.

Will be good fun, but kinda one sided if a virt in 8 US plays....

Like it though, is a good (and different) game type

In the various practice layouts that are available there is a layout of all the balls in one straight line. Understood?
