Rules
The rules for pool are oddly inconsistent from organization to organization, but most of the broad strokes are the same everywhere. 8 ball is about two groups of stripes and solids, 9 ball is about making the balls in order.
What’s important with rules is making sure everyone knows, and agrees what they are before you start playing. There are many organizations with different rules for specific situations that come up. The links below will differentiate between specific organization rules to give the best understanding possible of the different rules for pool.
