Can I still play UK pool?
Sure, press game, options, and select UK 8 Ball. Your choice is remembered.

Are the stats (wins, losses, ranking, 7 ballings) combined for UK and US pool?
Yes, currently they are. At a later stage this may be reviewed.

Will you run tournaments for US pool?
Yes, they will be starting next week.

What are the main rule differences between UK and US pool?
- After connecting with the first ball you must hit a cushion (rail).
- After break, the table is still open regardless of the balls you pot.
- After any foul, it is ball in hand. No carries exist.

woooooooo hoooooooo!

lets play!

AGreat game. I LOVE IT. Well done Nick

Yep, love the site even more than I used to. Great work! =)

I love it, great work!

i just see two things. 1 in the us the spots are called solids
2 when you get to move your cue it has to be behind the line on the right side of the table. You are also not able to shoot at a ball behind the table when you place the cue. you must bank it first. Hope this helps

1. Agreed, noticed a few terms were incorrect earlier, will update that as well for next patch.

2. Free ball can be placed anywhere except on the break shot (and the shot after the break if you scratch). At least that's the way I interpreted the rules!

never heard of that rule.................. for #2. i will do some checking if you would like.

I think you should set it to announce every 20 seconds because of ignorent newbies and such people who dont read the forum ... any agreements ?

If you go to control panel >>> then selct mouse >>> then choose the pointers tab along the top >>> and then look down to the bottom and scroll until you find the crosshair ... click on it and then press the browse button ... a window will now open and you can scroll right until you find a decnet crosshair image ...

any more probs just post ; - )

Looks superb Nick. Thanks for all the hard work youve put in to make it this good.

Not sure if its just my PC but there seems to be a ball which is almost the same colour as the Black ball and seems hard to spot which is which?

Might just be me though :)

nope me too ive potted the black twice now thinkling it was the other ball

Well you need some glasses then lol , The US pool is great havent lost a game yet -)

Nick, i did find the rules and learned somthing new. you were right the ball can be placed anywhere on the table.

You did a hell of a good Job :)

Are the table sizes, ball sizes and pockets accurate?

The table size is a to scale 7 foot table. Championship tables are usually 8 foot, however the 7 foot is more suitable for this simulation.
