Station Club Pool Team
Pool is played on a six pocket table, and modern pool tables can range in size from 3.5 by 7 feet to 4.5 by 9 feet.
Under World Pool-Billiard Association (WPA) official equipment specifications, pool balls weigh from 5.5 to 6 oz and have a diameter of 2.25 inches. Modern coin-operated pool tables generally use one of three methods to distinguish and return the cue ball to the front of the table while the numbered balls return to an inaccessible receptacle until paid for again: the cue ball is larger and heavier than the other balls, or denser and heavier, or has a magnetic core.
Modern cue sticks are generally 58.5 inches by comparison, billiards cues are generally shorter with larger tips, and snooker cues longer with smaller tips.

2. The opposing player illegally pots the 8 ball before clearing their own set of balls.
3. The 8 ball is knocked of the table by the opposition.
