6 POCKET was conceived by Mr. Richard (Dick) E. Clark. Dick is an avid billiards player, but was never satisfied with the games that were available to play in competition, or the scoring systems that were used to determine the winners of those games and how handicaps were established.

He felt that if a new game could be developed that pitted the player against the table instead of a competitor, then the winner was always the best player at the table.

He also reasoned that playing this way would support a simple handicapping formula that allowed recreational players to compare themselves against the best players in the world.

How is 6 POCKET Played?

6 POCKET is a called shot billiards game played on a regulation billiard table using 15 object balls and a cue ball, in which each player – be they individuals (male or female), or comprised of teams – has the same opportunity to win. This equal opportunity exists because each player competes against a field of opponents, rather than a single opponent.

This is accomplished by the players taking turns playing a single 15 ball rack and trying to pocket as many balls as possible from their rack until they either miss, scratch (except on the break), commit a foul, or pocket all of the balls from their rack, thus ending their turn.

How do you establish a Level Play handicap?
