Killers rule?

Question

anyone knows the rules for billiards killers? the one with 3 players? thanks

Answer 1

I think you are probably referring to "cutthroat".  I don't know if "killers" is a local term, but this is the more popular name.  Pick up a copy of the BCA rule book.  You can get it at any billiards retail store and most book store chains.  Don't quote me, but I believe they have rules for cutthroat.  There are also websites that have different sets of rules, but I can't vouch for the accuracy of them.  Best of luck.  M.D.-BCA Instructor/Referee.

These are the basic rules for killer or cutthroat. First shooter has balls 1 - 5 , second shooter has 6 - 10 and the third shooter has 11 - 15. The object is simple , be the last player with a ball or balls left on the table. We used to do a 3 way lag to determine the shooting order but you can decide that however you like. You must call your shots and you can shoot your own balls in if you like in order to stay at the table , but I wouldn't recommend it!Cue ball fouls only and you can play ball in hand or cue ball behind the headstring whatever you agree upon , I like ball in hand myself. Have fun !
