The first Chinese Billiards World Championships have officially started, so how much do you know about Chinese Billiards? The following content can help you quickly understand Chinese billiards, and then understand Chinese billiards, enjoy the fun of Chinese billiards.
I. Playing Field
Pool table, also known as the table, is divided into snooker table, fancy table and Chinese table according to the different games. The biggest difference between the billiard tables is naturally in the size, relatively speaking, the snooker table is the largest, the inner edge of 3569 mm × 1788 mm, although the area is large, but the ball is very small, so the snooker game on the precision requirements of the shot is very high, the hand frame, the grip, the body posture, the action of the pole a slight flaw, you will lose the accuracy of the star. And Chinese table size for the inner edge of 2540 mm × 1270 mm, much smaller than snooker.
Balls There are a total of 16 balls used in Chinese billiards matches, of which 1 to 7 are full-color balls, 9 to 15 are fancy-color balls, plus a black eight with a white main ball. Originally billiard balls were made of ivory, later stone was used, and nowadays they are mostly chemically synthesized. Some of the more recognizable brands are Yalome and Salop. The first Chinese Billiards World Championships used the Cyclops ball, nicknamed the “Cyclops”, which has a medium weight, a smooth surface, a faster response, and the most important feature is the brilliant color, which has a very good reputation among the players.
TENNY Chinese billiards use the same tine as snooker, while fancy billiards use tablecloth, which is very different from each other. On the tablecloth, the ball moves very fast, which makes it easier for the player to go long distances, but it is more demanding in terms of power to control the fine positions. Even for the same Chinese billiard table cloth, there is also a difference in material. A player who performs well on a certain billiard table will not play well on a different table, so billiard players are somewhat similar to soccer players in that they need to “adapt to the field training” in advance.
Pocket Fancy billiards and Chinese billiards in the billiard table size is basically the same, but the two are very different sports, playing method is not the same, leading to this change is an important reason for the design of the pocket is different. Fancy billiard table pockets large, relatively easy to get into the ball, the corner of the pocket is straight, Chinese billiard table pockets slightly rounded, fancy billiard table bottom pockets easy to get into the ball, you can play to eat the bank into the pocket ball, commonly known as “slip into the bag”, and in Chinese billiards, this is not realized.
II. Rules of the game
No rules, no rules difficult to get the game, if you are three or five friends after dinner entertainment pastime, that the rules of billiards set their own is also possible. However, as our own billiards, Chinese billiards has strict rules. There are rules about how to play, how to split the balls, how to blow up the balls, and so on.
Billiards is a game of taking turns, not direct confrontation, which raises the question, who goes first? Obviously, as an elegant sport, the low-end method of rock-paper-scissors cannot be convincing, and this is where biblioball comes in. Bee ball is the first stroke in a contest for the option of teeing off. The referee places two balls behind the teeing line, and both players hit the ball at approximately the same time and return it to touch the opposite end of the bank, with the player whose ball stops closer to the bank on the teeing line winning the match, and winning the option to tee off.
Teeing off Once the order is set, it’s time to tee off. What else is there to say about teeing off, just hit the white ball? It’s not that simple. A legal tee shot consists of at least one of the following two things: a target ball in the pocket or at least four target balls touching the edge of the net, otherwise it is considered a foul tee shot. If you make a foul tee shot, your opponent has a couple of options. One is to re-set the ball and tee off by yourself, or to ask the original teeing off player to re-tee off. If the main ball is in the pocket, there is also the option of obtaining a free ball behind the line to continue the stroke.
Splitting The choice of ball groups. The ownership of the ball group is not determined at the time of teeing off, the game is open regardless of whether the ball is scored or not at the time of teeing off, the ownership of the ball group depends on the player legally scoring the designated ball after teeing off. This means that having a ball in the pocket on the tee shot, non-female and black eights, just gives you the opportunity to continue with your choice, not to play whichever ball set you have scored.
Striking the ball Routine striking needs no introduction. After a player hits the ball, if no target ball is pocketed, at least 1 ball must touch the edge of the bank (including the mother ball) after the main ball collides with the target ball. After a player hits the ball, the target ball not pocketed and the main ball must stay on the table. If any target ball jumps away from the table surface it is considered to be reasonably disappeared and will not be repositioned on the table surface. Any part of the ball other than the club head that touches the ball on the table during the stroke is considered a foul.
CHARGE BAG When clearing the balls from one’s group, designate the pocket into which the black eight enters before striking the black eight. During the match, after the player has declared the pocket, the referee is to repeat it, and if there is a failure to declare the pocket or if the referee strikes without repeating it, it is considered a foul to
