Question

Played 13 ball when i was a kid in ala is the game still played or is it still around?

Answer 1

May have been a local game you hear of all kinds of s**+--

But I grew up in poolrooms and never heard of it ,may be populal in some places

I cut my teeth on a rack and lost them by a cue stick 53 years worth sorry . What part of Bama?? I played all over it but i was from Tenn..

Answer 2

thats because when you were a kid in ala noone could count past 13

Answer 3

May have played "13" ball under another name. What are the rules and format?

I did play a game called "Cribbage" where I had to make combinations of "15", like, if I made the "3-ball" my next shot was the "12". Once I made 4 combinations of "15" then I could shoot the 15-ball in for the win.

If I shot the "3" in and missed the "12", the "3" came up on the spot and the opponent gets his turn.

But, "13"? Can't think of it. Need more info. Good luck, Jay.

Answer 4

Well, I`ve never heard of it.

Did you only use 13 balls?

The only reason I can think of to only use 13 is that 2 balls were lost (:>

If you still had 15 and the cueball, Was the 13 the "game" ball?

Or did you shoot the game ball into the hole the 13 went in?

Just trying to figure out the reasoning behind the game.
