pages home blackball england scotland n.ireland wales articles briefly surveys about this website blackball pool rules ! blackball as played in the united kingdom, and indeed throughout the world, has its origins in the game of 8ball pool popularised in the usa early in the last century. a modified version of that game first found its way to the uk in the 1960s. today blackball is the dominant official rule-set for the 'small-table' game of pool so popular in pubs, clubs and pool halls. it is played extensively in pool leagues and there are numerous national and international events including european and world blackball championships. here's why blackball pool rules ! early history the first pool tables began to appear in britain's pubs and clubs more than half a century ago. within a few years the game of 8ball pool rivalled and eventually overtook darts as a pub pastime. in those early days snooker was the most widely played cue sport in social clubs and snooker halls, but pool was to become the predominant game. the game's rapidly increasing popularity was largely due to its easy accessibility. the small table was readily accommodated in thousands of british pubs. by the late 1970s pool had become well established throughout the united kingdom. when the game was first introduced it was played with seven solid-coloured balls numbered 1 to 7 and seven striped balls numbered 9 to 15. such ball sets are often referred to as 'spots and stripes' in the united kingdom and they continue to be used in games such as american pool and chinese eightball . there have been two important factors influencing the development of 8ball rules and the transition to the pool game now known as blackball . the first was the necessity to play on those smaller, coin-operated tables custom made for pubs and clubs.... mechanised tables do not allow the return of potted balls to players during a frame of pool, other than the white. the second factor has been a trend to introduce rules which speed up play and so reduce the duration of the game. governing bodies the rules of pool evolved and became formalised as more and more people took up the game. local pool leagues were created and then national organisations established to administer the sport. blackball associations and federations include... world pool-billiards association blackball international european blackball association english blackball pool federation scottish pool association northern ireland pool association welsh pool association governing bodies have also been set up to represent the interests of blackball players in other european countries, africa and australia. in addition the international professional pool association (ipa) runs numerous prestigious events in britain and worldwide. these are played to blackball rules at both amateur and professional level. blackball equipment cues the cues preferred by blackball players more closely resemble in dimension and weight those favoured by snooker players than those used for cue sports such as american pool. they do however tend to be a little lighter with a narrower tip than most snooker cues. tips are often around 8 to 9mm in diameter with a cue length of 57 inches or less. the vast majority of blackball and snooker cues are made from ash or maple. maple, unlike ash, has no grain and is the harder wood. many players use a 2-piece cue which is of course more convenient to carry and store. enthusiastic players may own a 'break cue' for breaking the cluster of racked balls at the start of a frame of pool. a light weight 'break cue' is considered best. balls red and yellow ball sets (alternatively known as 'casino' balls) are now favoured. the transition from numbered balls came about in part because they are easier to distinguish by spectators, particularly on video and television. occasionally blue balls will replace the red. these coloured 'object balls' and the black ball, are invariably 2 inches in diameter. the 'cue ball' is slightly smaller. the white is 1/8th of an inch less in width to enable it alone to return to a player through the mechanism of coin-operated machines should it accidentally be potted during a frame of blackball pool. the small size of the cue ball used in blackball (compared to snooker and american pool balls) is an important factor in determining optimum cue weight and tip diameter as described above. tables it was in the 1970s that a degree of standardisation in the dimensions and playing attributes of coin-operated pool tables began to develop. most significantly, in 1973, the first of the legendary 'superleague' tables appeared on the market. the design of that table proved very acceptable to both the novice and more advanced player. it was 7 feet in length and had the same ball to pocket ratio as a snooker table. the table was first made by a company called hazel grove music and then later by riley snooker of the hainsworth group. by the 1990s over 120,000 such tables had been manufactured and distributed throughout the uk and europe. alex higgins endorsed the superleague table and appeared at exhibitions demonstrating its attributes. there are today many manufacturers and models of table ranging in price from a few hundred to several thousands of pounds. in the photo is the popular 'supreme' model. it is what is often referred to as a 'tournament' table and as such is widely used for national pool events throughout the united kingdom. the standard table dimension remains 7ft x 4ft which gives a playing surface of 6ft x 3ft. the table coverings have however undergone change over the years. in the early days a heavily napped, woollen cloth of the kind at that time found on snooker tables was commonplace. this was far from ideal and eventually faster surfaces with less nap gained popularity. even more recently worsted cloth entirely without nap, sometimes referred to as 'speed cloth', has gained favour. in fact the fabric may be wool, nylon or a mix of the two and this determines the nature of the playing surface and the life of the cloth. the traditional green cloth remains most popular, though other colours are achieving acceptance particularly in events played at national and international level. experienced players are well aware that the quality and characteristics of the table surface can vary greatly and have learned to adapt their approach to play accordingly. blackball rules for many years different versions of rules caused unnecessary confusion amongst players and antagonism between self-appointed 'governing bodies' which had sprung up to administer 8ball pool. in 2004 a meeting was held in london under the auspices of the world pool-billiards association (wpa) which agreed to the introduction of blackball pool rules as the official rule-set for the 'small-table' game. this ensured players were able to unite under a single world structure with all playing to the same rules. the support of the world pool association gave the sport true recognition and brought about the introduction of worldwide events. there's useful guidance to playing blackball pool on this web site. blackball pool rules were first published in 2005, followed by a minor update in 2008. today, pool played to those rules has never been more popular. players previously familiar with pub pool rules and old-world versions of 8ball will appreciate how much the move to blackball has enhanced the game. it has made the game more enjoyable for players and attractive to spectators. the success of these rules is one of the reasons why the world blackball championships, held in scotland in 2014 , were recorded and screened by sky television. the live streaming of blackball rules events at all levels is now commonplace. the game of blackball is played worldwide. those few remaining organisations which continue to support and promote outdated versions of 8ball face the prospect of becoming increasingly marginalised. blackball today there's no shortage of opportunit
