7-Ball Pool Rack
7-Ball Pool Rack
Quick-and-dirty rack for 7-ball pool. Sized for standard 2.25in balls. I wanted to play 7-ball pool as I recently started practicing pool again. Unfortunately 7-ball is not the easiest game to rack—usually it simply gets racked by hand (which does not ensure a tight break)—but I figured I might as well make a little rack for ease of play.For anyone who has not heard of or does not know the rules of 7-ball, this page was how I learned to play. 7-ball is designed for two-players, but single-player games are also fun. The game plays very similar to 9-ball, but with a few more twists to make the game more interesting and removes the aspects of getting snookered by another player. If you don't care to follow the link (I get it), the gist of the rules are as follows: Same rules of sequential play as 9-ball pool for contact and scoringCue ball must contact lowest number ball before any other ballsPocket the 7 on a legal shotBalls are racked sequentially around the 7 ball (no distinction between clockwise vs anticlockwise for the sequential order)Upon a no-contact foul, improper first contact foul, or a pocketed cue ball, the opponent receives ball-in-hand(The fun one): When a number ball is not pocketed on a legal shot and the next player takes their turn, the next player gets ball in handEach player is allotted one safety shot per game to position the cue where they wantOn a shot where a player intends to pocket the 7 ball, they must call the pocket in which they intend to sink the 7.A safety shot can be called on the same shot in which the current player intends to sink the 7 For example, player may call “7 ball into [pocket] and safety," indicating that if the player misses their 7 ball shot, they give themself another try.First to pocket the 7 ball on a legal shot wins
