You are only allowed to play with the original PoolBall® balls and within the border.

Except for the players and a referee (match observer), nobody is allowed to enter the field of play in order not to endanger the course of play.

At the time of the kick, only the active player may be on the pitch. However, the inactive players and the referee (match observer) may be on the edge of the table.

Two players or teams compete against each other. You play with the white ball on the coloured ones, in order to get them in the goals.
One player plays on the „halves“ (balls 9-15), the other on the „Vollen“ (1-7). When all balls of a team have been sunk, the
then play it on the black ball (ball 8). If the player correctly (the goal must be announced before each shot),
but can change after each failure), he has won.

The colored PoolBall® balls are built into a triangle and should touch each other. The black ball (No.8) is located on the foot point in the middle of the triangle. At the two back corners there is a full ball and a half ball. The remaining balls can be distributed freely in the triangle.

The white soccer ball is played from the head point onto the coloured soccer balls. If at least one coloured ball is pocketed, the opening player may continue playing. The allocation of the half or full balls only takes place at the time when the first coloured ball is pocketed. The generic team then automatically has the other half (whole or half balls).

If no ball is pocketed during the opening shot, the opponent continues to play from the current position.

If a foul is committed at the opening shot, or as long as the assignment of the colours is not clear, the opponent starts his shot from the head point and may not play a ball directly in the head field (i.e. in the quarter of the table between the head point and the headband).

The opponent always comes into play when:

• none of the own balls has been potted
• a foul was committed

A foul is present if:

• the white ball does not touch any other ball at all
• the white ball hits an opponent’s ball first (or the black ball if there are any balls left)
• the white ball falls into a pocket
• the white ball is touched twice during the shot
• any colored ball on the table is touched outside the shot
• any ball is still in motion at the time of shooting
• the white ball is played with a part of the body other than the foot or the head
• an opposing ball is pocketed
• any ball bounces off the table
  
  If your own coloured ball bounces off the table, it is placed in the middle of the edge of the footboard. If a generic colored ball bounces off the table, it is considered sunk and simply placed in a pocket. In any case, a correct shot must be made or played in a short contact with the sole. The white ball may not be pushed. Deliberate fouls or misconduct can be punished by the referee (match observer) up to the loss of the match and disqualification of the player or the whole team. If a foul has been committed, not only the opponent is in the game, but he may place the white ball „as a punishment“ at any point on the table and from there continue to play in any direction („free choice of places on the whole table“). Apart from the white ball, no balls from the pockets are returned to the playing field.

The game is lost when:

• the black ball („the figure eight“) is pocketed, although there are other balls of your own on the table
• the figure eight is played into a different pocket than was announced
• the figure eight is pocketed with a foul (e.g. if the white ball is pocketed as well or if an opposing ball is played first)
• the eight flies off the table
