Bank Pool — Quick Rules

Overview

• All shots (except on the break) must be banked to the called pocket.
• Common race formats: first to 5 or 8.

Rules Highlights

• Call ball and pocket. Kisses and multiple rails are allowed if called; contact with other balls before the pocketed bank usually invalidates the shot (local options exist).
• Scratches and standard fouls yield ball‑in‑hand per local rule; illegally pocketed balls are spotted.
