How to Play Ten-Ball Pool

Ten-Ball pool is a game of pool played with 10 instead of 8 balls numbered in order. You must initially hit the balls in order and you win the game when you pocket the 10.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Pool Table
• 2 Players or 2 teams
• Billiard balls numbered 1 to 10
• Cue ball

1. Rack the balls as tightly as possible in the shape of a triangle. The 1 ball should be at the top of the triangle and 10 ball in the very middle. The other balls do not need to be in any particular order.

2. Place the cue ball behind the head string on the table and shoot the break.

3. Cause the cue ball to come in contact with the lowest-numbered ball on the table first.

4. Get a foul if you break specific rules of the game including causing the cue ball to jump off the table. You also get a foul if you cause the cue ball to come in contact with any other ball first other than the lowest-numbered ball on the table.

5. End your turn if a foul is called or you have caused the cue ball to fall into a pocket (scratching). Continue your turn as long as you are knocking balls into the pockets.

6. Lose the game if you have earned 3 consecutive fouls.

7. Win the game when you legally pocket the 10 ball or if your opponent has earned 3 consecutive fouls.

Tips & Warnings

• The 10 ball must be the last ball on the table to pocket it legally.
• The rules in this game can vary depending upon the players.
