The game of 14.1 Continuous is billiards response to basketball’s HORSE. The player with the turn to take a shot is needed to call out a potential pocket and making that pocket gives the player one point. The player who makes a shot can carry on to take shots until his nominated shot misses the desired pocket. After pocketing the first 14 balls, the player can then attempt to pocket number fifteen after re-racking. Read more . . .

The game of equal offense was created by Billiard Congress of America Master Instructor Jerry Briesath and uses some of the concepts of 14.1 continuous billiards and the famous game of Bowlliards. The shooter continues shooting until he or she illegally pockets a ball, makes a foul, or reaches a maximum score for the inning or frame in which he or she is shooting. The shot must be called before the shooter engaging, but the call only needs to be the ball and the pocket, no caroms or kisses, etc. have to be called. Read more . . .

Billiards is obviously a game of skill requiring shots to be thoroughly constructed and relentlessly rehearsed. The game of bank pool is doubly more demanding because the shooter is required to take a shot that involves the cushion or wall to be used in the process of a shot. This is not a game recommended for play at the local community center or the bowling alley just down the street. A game of bank pool could last hours for the unaccomplished billiards player.
