Answer 10

in ht e philippines we have a very popular game in pool halls. it is called rotation. you shoot the ball in chronological order like nine ball from 1 till 15. think about how hard nine ball is adding 6 more balls is harder. also there is a score. race to 60 points. if i pocket 1,+ 2,+3,+4,+5,+6,+7,+8,+9,+10 balls i get a score 0f 55. and my opponent pockets 11,+12,+13,+14,+15. he scores 65 points. this is how filipino pool players excell in 9 ball. by practising with more billard balls.

Answer 11

there are loads of different games you can play with the american striped and spots balls as long they are numbered. one of the best is 15 ball where you pot any ball and score the value of its number the winner is the one who scores the most. the 9 ball games rules on 6 ball and 10 ball, 10 ball the blue stripe is the winning ball and 6 ball is up to the green. i bought pool paradise for my ps2 and learned all the games on there. theres about 20 different games to be played

Answer 12

Don't forget Bowlilliards! :P You rack up 10 balls and try to run them down in 2 turns, then score it like bowling. It's pretty fun, look it up.

Answer 13

Take too much space naming them all. The web site has been posted. Check it out.

Also, in addition to those you'll find listed here and from the web sites, remember that there are many variations of each game depending on what part of the country you are playing in.

Just a simple "3-ball" game is racked two ways... either lined up straight or in a triangle. There are three ways to play "7-ball" that I know of.

All in all there may be only (say) 50 different games, but several variations of each.
