Setting up the Pool Table
- Set up the balls as shown using the triangle rack.
- The black eight ball is positioned in the middle of the triangle, over the foot spot (8 Ball Spot) that is marked on the cloth.
- The white ball is played from behind the line drawn on the cloth (Baulk line).
At the start, or after a foul shot that pots the white, the white ball can be positioned to any point on or behind the Baulk line and played in any direction.
