Opening:At the start of the game, players serve from the tee area with the aim of legally touching a red ball or a colored ball and at least one ball is pocketed, otherwise it is considered a foul.
Shot line:Under normal circumstances, after the player has scored a red ball first, he needs to select and hit any colored ball, and the colored ball will remain in the bag when it is in the bag, and the red ball will need to be re-placed in the designated position on the table. Then the red balls are played, and so on until all the red balls are shot down.
3.Scoring and how it is scored
Score Calculation:Each time you successfully shoot down a red ball, you need to legally shoot down a colored ball to get the corresponding score, and then return to the red ball again. Each red ball is worth 1 point, and the color ball is added to the total score according to the corresponding score of the color.
Consecutive scores:As long as the cue ball is not fouled at the end of each round and there are still red balls on the table, the player can continue to hit the ball, known as a "streak of scores".
4.Clearance and end of round
Qingtai:When all the red balls are in the bag, the player must shoot down the colored balls in the order of yellow, green, brown, blue, pink and black until all the colored balls are in the pocket and complete the "clearance".

Foul Situation:For example, if the cue ball does not touch any target ball, if it hits a target ball other than that specified in the round, or if the cue ball falls into the pocket after hitting the ball, etc., it is a foul.
Penalty Processing:In the event of a foul, the opponent can choose to accept the current position and continue to stroke the ball, or ask the offending team to deduct points (in the case of ** grams, i.e. the opponent cannot directly hit the legitimate target, a penalty will be incurred).
