#OFFICIAL BILLIARDS RACK HOW TO#
If you have any other variations on the above then send them in and I’ll add them to the post. How To Rack In an 8 Ball Pool And All Other Variants Racking refers to the process of using a rack to set up the balls in position to break. I hope this helps clear things up for those of you that were confused on how you are supposed to set the balls up. More often than not you’ll be treated the same way in return. With this in mind: ALWAYS treat fellow players with respect and decency. It’s still a great game for socialising and meeting new people who also love to compete – as well as those that don’t like losing in their own back yard.
As long as you establish the rules and intricacies up front I don’t see these small differences as a problem. I think you may often come across minor changes like this in some local league pool across the United Kingdom.
This was a new one on me but I went with it. You’ll more than likely never need to set them up like this but I thought it was worth sharing for clarity.

This change now forms a similar shape to the tick of a famous sports brand – and is how I often describe is to beginners.

These two are the preferred rule sets for almost all professional tournaments.Īs you can see it’s almost identical to the Old (pub rules) way of setting up, the only difference being that the two balls (red and yellow) in the centre of the bottom row are swapped over. This picture is the formation the balls are set up in for both World Rules and Blackball Rules.
The correct way to set them up in the majority of leagues, tournaments and professional events throughout England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales is this: World Rules and Blackball Rack Set Up – All elite players use these racks. This rack is also used for leagues and players that play Old EPA Rules (pub rules). This is the way that most casual, non-league pub players still set them up. Up until the 1990’s the way to set up the balls in the triangle is this: Old Rules Pool Ball Rack Set Up In the UK there are two most popular ways to set up the balls in a triangle. So this one is for all you that are interested in playing pool but don’t know where to start. Whilst most of my members and clients already know what I’m about to explain – there are a few players that do not.
