Its Like 9 Ball but Onli With the 10 Far Better game.. Harder more Skill and tatics

:S yeah sounds alot more harder, one extra ball :S

How much difference would it make?

And where would the 10 ball fit on the rack?

Ten-ball is a modern pocket billiards (pool) game. It is a rotation game very similar to nine-ball, but more difficult, using ten balls instead of nine, and with the 10 ball instead of the 9 as the "money ball".

Ten-ball is preferred over nine-ball by some professionals because it is slightly harder to pocket any balls on the break shot with the more crowded rack, opponents cannot win the game by pocketing the 10 ball early (such as on the break or on a combination shot), and performing a string of break-and-runs on successive racks becomes increasingly difficult to achieve (statistically). There is a possibility that ten-ball will eventually eclipse nine-ball as the most popular professional tournament game.

Racking

The ten balls are racked as a triangle as in the game of eight-ball, with the 1 ball positioned on top of the rack, the 10 ball positioned in the middle of the rack, and the other balls placed in random order, with the apex ball on the foot spot.

Play

Most of the same rules apply as in nine-ball. This means that in order to establish a legal hit, the cue ball must contact the lowest numbered ball first, and subsequently at least one ball must hit any rail, without the cue ball being pocketed. In ten-ball, shots have to be called, which means that the player must call a ball and the pocket in which to make the ball. Note that this does not have to be the lowest numbered ball. The game is won by pocketing the 10-ball on a correctly called shot. An exception to this rule is that pocketing the 10-ball on the break also results in a win.

If a player pockets the wrong ball, or pockets the nominated ball in the wrong pocket, the ball stays down. The exception is the 10-ball, which gets re spotted on the foot spot. The opponent then has the choice of taking the shot, or handing it back.

I don't think it will make any difference as its 9ball with an extra ball. However... billiards....

Cheers mate. The way the guy who posted explained made it sound a waste of time.

Sounds alright actually.

Hightops, if you read it properly it's not just 9ball with an extra ball! Personally i like the sound of the game.

I wouldn't mind adding another game, but which are popular?

Wikipedia lists all these:
Nine-ball · Eight-ball · One-pocket · Straight pool · Bank pool · Blackball · Baseball pocket billiards · Bottle pool · Chicago · Cowboy pool · Cribbage pool · Golf pool · Kelly pool · Rotation · Ten-ball · Three-ball

3ball is good fun and quick but on funkypool it will be too easy.

I like the idea of rotation and bank pool aswell.

Yeah but would be good for in between tournys and that mate..

Lets say there were no rankings for it? just a game for fun, maybe just a record of wins and losses would be good.
