After Tuesday's pool competition with some international students, and some of their friends, I've come to realized that every country has their own rules for pool(or billiards). I've got some rules from 4 different countries(including Canada). I've also research the international rules which resembles canadian rules. For one point of comparasion lets compare how the 8th ball needs to be pocketed.
1-French Rule
Before touching the 8th ball, the cue ball must touch a cushion.
2- German Rule
The 8th ball has to be pocketed in the opposite pocket then the last full or stripe ball.
3- English Rule and Canadian Rule
The shooter must call the pocket which the 8th ball will be pocketed.
1-French Rule
