Basic Pockets- In basic pockets billiards the balls can be racked with a completely random scheme as long as all fifteen balls are racked. Basic pockets billiards does not need called shots or point value being assigned to balls, instead the purpose is to pocket eight balls, or over half, before the opposing shooter.

Normally, the opening shot must make the cue ball contact a ball and legally pocket it to score the ball in the player’s total. In fact, if a shooter legally pockets a ball, then he/she continues his/her turn until a ball is not legally pocketed. If the shooter continues his/her turn until they have gone over eight total balls pocketed, then he/she wins and the game is declared over.

Baseball- The game of baseball billiards is played with 21 balls that are arranged almost as far back as they can be on the table without touching the back wall. The opening shooter then takes a shot and any ball that is pocketed by the opening shot is placed in the opening shooter’s overall total points. In baseball billiards, every shooter is given nine innings to take as many shots as they can without fouling.

A foul or illegally pocketed ball ends the inning and the next one starts. In addition, the shooter is given the combined number of points for each pocketed ball during an inning. For example, the seven and eight balls pocketed during one inning count for a total of 15 points for the shooter. Thus, the player with the most points after each player has a separate nine innings wins. If a player pockets all the balls before the end of his/her nine innings, then he/she gets to re-rack and continue until the end of the nine innings are attained.
