![]() Instead, I recommendĮither using games of chance like a coin toss, or a card draw to decide who You in a particularly bad position, this is one of the few times that I do notĪdvocate for being polite and letting others go first. Since being the third person in Cutthroat usually puts The person that follows then only has to pocket one ball beforeĭeciding which group from the two remaining he would like to play with. Would then choose to make his group 11-15 because it has the most balls Pockets a ball from group 1-5, and then he pockets a ball from group 6-10. The harder way is to not choose a group until at least Group is left would be given to the last person. Process and pocket a ball before claiming what group they would like, whatever That person’s turn is over, the next person to go up will follow the same Table and then verbally claim whichever group they want to be a part of. They made a ball in on the break, will pocket one of the object balls on the The easy way is that whoever just broke, assuming that The way that most players get around this is by Start the game, the only downside is that when you go to break you might pocket Now, it is possible to choose your groups before you Is allowed to ask for a re-rack and attempt to break the balls themselves. If the person who broke was unable to perform an ‘open break’, the next person Okay, now assuming that the rack was put together well, A good rack should look like someone glued the balls together with how close they are to each other. If this is the case players should make sure that the rack was put together tightly. However, even if someone puts all the power they have into a break it is still possible that the balls won’t go very far. This is done so that the balls aren’t too cluttered in the middle. In Cut Throat it’s important that whoever goes first is able to do something called an “open break.” An open break is where at least four of the balls separate from the rack and make contact with the cushions on the sides of the pool table. As long as the player puts the cue ball below the diamond that’s closest to the middle of the table, then it’s okay to break. The head string is not a physical line that rest on the table but an imaginary one that’s created when players look at the diamonds on the side of billiards tables. Naturally the cue ball will then be placed somewhere behind the head string. This is the same spot where most racks are placed. Once the rack is created it’s important to place it so that the one ball will be resting on top of the foot spot. The placement of the rest of the balls isn’t too important. All you need is a standard triangle rack and to place the 1-ball at the top of the triangle, with the 6 and the 11 balls going in either of the other corners. At the end of the game whichever player has any number of their balls remaining is the official winner. ![]() If a player has all the balls within their group pocketed then they are eliminated from play, unless someone commits a foul. When you make a ball in, as long as it was not an illegal shot (something I define later in the article), you get to keep shooting. ![]() Your goal as the player is to pocket your opponents’ balls into any of the 6 pockets on the table. In truth the rest of the rules of cutthroat are very similar to something like 8-ball. Of course any random split of numbers can be used and it’s up to the players themselves to decide how they want to do it. The split can also work well with five players where the groups turn into 1-3, 4-6, 7-9, 10-12, and 13-15. These groups usually look like 1-5, 6-10, and 11-15. Players will be given assigned numbers at the start of the game which will count as the group of balls under their control. Cutthroat BasicsĬutthroat uses a total of fifteen object balls labeled from 1-15 and the standard cue ball. Cutthroat is a version of pool that can be played with three or more people, with the goal to be the last person to have your balls remaining on the table.
