For example, it may be necessary to move a rack in progress to a different table, in which case a stalemate may be declared if a position cannot be transferred. When necessary for balls to be restored or cleaned, the referee will restore disturbed balls to their original positions to the best of his ability. If a ball falls into a pocket as the result of such settling, it is restored as closely as possible to its original position. If the balls cannot be restored to their original positions, the situation is handled like a stalemate. During play, when a player cannot hit the ball that the rules require him to hit (because of obstruction by another ball or balls), he is said to be snookered and loses his turn; this situation gives the game its name. If the referee observes that no progress is being made towards a conclusion, he will announce his decision, and each player will have three more turns at the table. If both players agree, they may accept the stalemate without taking their three additional turns.



The three hook picks in this kit are sufficient to manipulate the vast majority of pin tumbler locks found in the US. Special double-sided jiggle-rake picks are commercially available for such locks. These locks are often quite susceptible to rubbing and jiggle-key raking. There is a more detailed discussion of configuring training locks at the end of this document. These are typically pin tumbler locks, what is billiards but their orientation is "upside down" with respect to the convention for locks installed in the United States. As with pin tumbler locks, because the levers, gates, and fence are slightly out of alignment, it is usually possible to raise and pick the levers one at time. Unfortunately, many of the commercially available lock pick kits consist mostly of useless gimmicks. Once you've picked a cylinder, you should know in exactly what order the pins pick. The first sign of spool and mushroom pins is that the lock will appear to be picked, but will only turn a few degrees. The height (or cut depth) of a key under each pin stack position is called its bitting; the bitting of a key is the "secret" needed to open a lock. Instead, they use flat "wafers," typically extending across the full height of the plug.

The tournament director or other appointed official decides whether to use a shot clock or not. In call shot games, the shooter may choose to call "safety" instead of a ball and pocket, and then play passes to the opponent at the end of the shot. The shooter is not penalized for shooting while a ball is settling. Three Point Break Rule is used, if no ball is pocketed, three balls must touch the head string, or the break is considered ‘illegal break’. In billiards the most popular game is three cushion billiards. When the last ball is pocketed, the game is ended. Only one ball may be called on each shot. Fouls must be called promptly. The equipment must meet existing WPA equipment specifications. In general, players are not permitted to introduce novel equipment into the game. Pool is normally played with one black ball, seven yellow balls, seven red balls, and a white cue ball, however, the number of balls used depends on the game. 14.1 Continuous Pool, also known as straight pool, is played with fifteen numbered balls and the cue ball.



Nine ball is played with nine object balls numbered one through nine and the cue ball. That is, touching or moving any ball other than the cue ball would not be a foul unless it changes the outcome of the shot by either touching another ball or having any ball, including the cue ball, going through the area originally occupied by the moved ball. In some games and for most break shots, placement of the cue ball may be restricted to the area behind the head string depending on the rules of the game, and then 6.10 Bad Cue Ball Placement and 6.11 Bad Play from Behind the Head String may apply. If, prior to a particular shot, the shooting player feels that his opponent will not be able to properly judge the shot, he should ask the area referee to watch the shot. If a settling ball falls into a pocket during or just prior to a shot, and this has an effect on the shot, the referee will restore the position and the shot will be replayed.
