    Two cue balls and a red ball are used on the same table as for snooker; each player has his own cue ball. Point are awarded for a cannon (2 points for making your cue ball contact both other balls), going in-off (pocketing the cue ball after contacting a ball, 2 for white, 3 for red), or potting (pocketing) the red (3) or the other white (2). It is possible to score 10 points on one stroke. A pocketed white is not returned to the table, but the red ball comes back to the black (7 or billiard) spot, usually. If the cue ball has gone in-off, it is returned to the D and must be shot towards the top of the table (end by the black spot).

    There are several advanced rules to prevent repetitive scoring plays, such as no more than 75 shots that are simple cannons, and the red spotting on the center spot after twice being made from the black spot. The full rules of English Billiards are in the same official rule book as snooker, given above. The rules are available on-line (as of October 2001) at
