The non-shooting player should remain in his designated chair while his opponent is at the table. While billiards can include both billiards games and pool games played on billiards tables and pool tables, pool games only refer to those played on a pool table. The table and balls used in billiards are larger than those in pool. 8. Only WPA Sanctioned Tournaments are eligible for World Ranking Points. 3. The actions of the WPA in dealing with the grant of sanctioning for an International Tournament may be performed by the WPA’s Board or by the Board’s duly authorised delegate. International Tournaments are classified by the WPA into the following five categories. For example, if one object ball is pocketed, then at least two object balls must touch the head string line; or if two object balls are pocketed, then at least one object ball must touch the head string line. A complete set of pool balls consists of one white cue ball and fifteen color-coded, numbered object balls. The mechanical bridge, also called rake, crutch or rest, is an accessory of the billiard sports table and consists of a stick with a bridge head mounted at its end to support the shaft of the cue stick replacing the hand bridge during shots difficult to reach.

Table cushions should influence the speed of the table such that with placement of a ball on the head spot, shooting through the foot spot, using center ball english, with a level cue and firm stroke, the ball must travel a minimum of 4 to 4 ½ lengths of the table without jumping. To touch the head string line means that the edge of the object ball must reach (break) the string line. It may be that the player miscues on a break shot and tries to prevent the cue ball from following its normal path by deflecting it with his cue stick or by some other means. This means that the total velocity of the two objects after impact is the same as their total velocity before impact. Long rails. The long rails are the two wider sides of the table. All of the striped and colored balls are referred to as object balls, and the solid white ball is the cue ball.

The nap affects the speed and trajectory of the balls, depending on the direction of the shot and whether any side spin is placed on the ball. There is a long time between the first use of side spin along with universal use of tips and the first recorded use of "English" to mean side. 7. There is a substantial range in the size and significance of Tournaments. Should a shot clock be introduced, both players will be "on the clock" and there will be an official timekeeper for the duration of the match. That is, touching or moving any ball other than the cue ball would not be a foul unless it changes the outcome of the shot by either touching another ball or having any ball, including the cue ball, going through the area originally occupied by the moved ball. Should a player need to leave the playing area during matches, he must request and receive permission from the referee. Should a player leave the playing area without the permission of the referee, it will be treated like unsportsmanlike conduct.

This practice and other similar practices are absolutely forbidden under the unsportsmanlike conduct rule, Rule 6.16(b). Players must never intentionally touch any ball in play except with a forward stroke of the cue tip on the cue ball. Payments to athletes for appearance money or other costs are not included in the calculation of "added prize money". National Tournaments. A tournament is a National Tournament if it only comprises athletes from within the relevant country. The WPA itself, its members the CFs and their members the NFs, all organise or host Tournaments. 1. The WPA has defined the continents for the purpose of these guidelines in Appendix A. This definition applies throughout the Rules and Regulations generally. 16.4. If no timely response is received from the CF, what is billiards the WPA Board has the right to proceed to decide the sanctioning request. In this regard a Ratified Event is one has been approved by the WPA Board - see paragraph 50 and following below. The one who wins the break shot will choose whether to play with coloured or striped balls.
