let's Start the Game:
The game begins when the first player places the white cue ball anywhere behind the tables headed string if you pocket the cue ball on your break the opponent gets a ball in hand now the opponent player will be able to move the cue ball anywhere on the table to play his or her shot if you pop one or more balls during your break you get another turn but the table will remain open open means you can still choose either one solid or striped balls. If you make a solid ball all out I'm solids or if you make stripes all out I'm stripes note if you're the first player to pocket a numbered ball but you potted both a stripe and a solid at the same time then you can choose the group of balls you want to call out either solid or stripes now you have to aim for that group of balls throughout the game for example.
If you're the breaking player and you potted the solid number five ball now you only have to target solid balls your goal should be to pocket all of the solid balls once you pot out all your solid balls then you need to target the number eight black ball before your opponent pockets all of the stripe bolts you can pot as many numbered balls you want from you group with one shot but you can decide before the game starts. If you want to play with all your shots rule in the call your shots role players must call each shot they tank so you must announce which ball you're going to pop into which pocket you might say 11 number ball in the middle pocket you must indicate with his or her cue stick to make it clear which pocket you mean but always whether you're playing the call your shots rule or not to pocket the number eight ball you must announce where you're going to pocket the number eight ball before you shoot.
