One‑Pocket — Quick Rules

Overview

• Each player is assigned a single corner pocket at the foot of the table.
• First to the agreed count (often 8 balls) wins.

Play

• Any ball may be used, but only balls legally pocketed into your assigned pocket count for you.
• Defensive moving and banking dominate; selling out an easy return is costly.

Fouls & Spots

• Standard fouls apply. Illegally pocketed balls are spotted to the foot spot area; some rules deduct a ball from the fouling player’s count.
