Pool

What's the difference between quick format pool and ordinary pool?

Baz, don't know if this is the correct answer, but i play pool on the Miniclip site (graphics are really good) and they used to have a 'quick fire' game whereby the player was given 5 minutes to pot as many balls as possible. Each time a player was 'on' the last ball, the remaining balls would be re-racked. If a player potted the white, 30 seconds was knocked off the time. Pot the white 3 times and it was game over.
Unfortunately, Miniclip have altered this game so that it is no longer enjoyable, imho, so i stick to the regular 8 ball and 9 ball games.

Should have added; the trick was to leave the last ball in a position where the white could be cannoned into the re-racked pack with enough force to make one or two balls pottable.

I was watching the TV last night and there was a match where there was only about 8 balls on the table plus the white ball

All the balls seem to be the same

The last time I played pool you had 'high' / 'low' balls

You chose which you wanted to play - you then potted all your balls .

However there wasn't any high / low balls on the TV match - both players were potting the same balls

I hope that makes sense
