    The *exact* rules for games of the BCA are copyrighted, and should not be reproduced in electronic form without permission. See below for information on ordering copies and the World Pool-Billiard Association's site at http://www.wpa-pool.com/rules/rules.htm

    In almost every pool game, a shot that does not pocket a ball is required to have at least one ball contact a rail after the cue ball contacts a ball.

    EQUAL OFFENSE

    Same rules as straight pool (14.1) except as noted. (You must be familiar with those rules, or EO won't make much sense, especially the break shot with the 15th ball.) Each player gets ten turns alone at the table; a turn begins with an open break of a full rack, and ends on a miss, foul, or run of twenty. Respot any balls that go in on the open break, and start with ball in hand in the kitchen. There is no penalty for scratching on the break. A foul does not subtract points, it just ends the turn, but balls made on a foul do not count. There is no head-to-head play, so there are no safeties.

    Beginners may want to try the following changes: Stop at 15 balls so that you don't have to execute a straight pool break shot; take ball in hand anywhere after the break instead of behind the line; take up to three misses before starting the next frame. See some other variations in the skill definitions under "How well do I play?" below.
