The present Rules are the general for all described below versions лузных billiard games. However they are applied only in the event that directly do not contradict special rules for the given concrete game.

3.1. Billiard tables, spheres, the equipment

All billiard games described more low should be spent with use of billiard tables, spheres and the equipment, meeting the requirements of section ' Specifications ВАП on the billiard equipment '.

3.2. Arrangement of spheres

At arrangement of spheres the triangle should be used, and the forward sphere should settle down on a back mark. All other spheres should be built for forward and are densely pressed to each other.

3.3. Blow on битку

On битку it is necessary to put blow only a label кия. Infringement of this requirement is punished фолом.

3.4. A miss

If the player misses at correct blow, i.e. does not hammer in a sphere its series comes to an end and game is entered by the contender.

3.5. Draw of initial blow

At draw of initial blow (splitting) the following procedure is used. Taking on a sphere of the identical size and weight (it is desirable two битка or, at least, two not a striped aim sphere) and having arranged them on the different parties from a forward mark, players simultaneously carry out blow from a hand because of a forward line (from the house), sending spheres to a back board and back. The player wins, whose sphere has stopped more close to a forward board. Thus the sphere should concern a back board, at least, once. The contact of other boards does not play a role if it is not accompanied by one of specified below infringements.

Draw is considered automatically lost, if: 1) the sphere has come on half of contender, 2) has not reached a back board, 3) has fallen in a billiard pocket, 4) has jumped out for a board, 5) has concerned a long board,) has stopped in an alignment of an angular billiard pocket behind a lip of a forward board or 7) has concerned a back board two times and more. If Rules were broken by both contenders or if the judge cannot define, whose sphere has stopped more close to a forward board draw repeats.

3.6. Initial blow (splitting)

The right to performance of initial blow is given by results of draw or a lot (draw is spent without fail at carrying out of official competitions). The won draw or a lot has the right or to make itself initial blow, or to concede to its contender.

3.7. Introduction битка in game

Introduction битка in game is made by initial blow from a hand because of a forward line (from the house). Thus aim spheres place according to rules of each concrete game. Биток it is considered entered into game after it has crossed a forward line as a result of blow on it a label кия.

3.8. A delay entered into game битка

The delay entered into game битка after it has crossed a forward line or before impact with aim spheres, is considered as deliberate infringement. The contender entering game has the right or to execute itself repeated blow from a hand from the house, or to concede to its infringer (an exception: according to a rule 5.3. ' the nine ' blow is made from a hand from any place of a table). To the infringer the prevention that repeated deliberate infringement will cause зачтение defeats in a meeting (match) should be made.

3.9. Blow from a hand because of a forward line (from the lady)

Blow from a hand from the house is carried out or in the game beginning, or after falling битка in a billiard pocket if it is provided by rules of concrete game. The participant entering game can have биток in any place of the house.

It can strike blow to any aim sphere which centre settles down or on a forward line, or behind it (i.e. out of door). To strike blow to steams which are in the house, it is possible only in the event that биток in the beginning leaves the house, and then, having hit about a back board, comes back back in the house. Sphere position is defined by position of its centre (or points of a contact of a sphere with a game surface).

If the player inadvertently has биток on a forward line or slightly behind it the judge or the contender should warn before blow him about it. If it it is not made, blow is considered correct. After the prevention the player is obliged to correct position битка. If the player absolutely obviously takes out биток for limits of the house and strikes blow it is considered as infringement what the contender or the judge should declare.

At performance of blow from a hand from the house биток it is considered not entered into game until he has not left limits of the house as a result of blow on it a label кия.

While биток it is not entered into game, it is possible to correct it a hand, кием, etc. However after introduction in its game in no event it is impossible to concern, otherwise appears фол.

3.10. The played spheres

The sphere is considered played if as a result of correctly executed blow it falls from a game surface of a table in a billiard pocket and remains there. (The Sphere is considered played and in the event that after falling in a billiard pocket it then jumps out on a floor from system of return of spheres.) the sphere which has jumped out of a billiard pocket on a surface of a table, is considered not played.

3.11. Position of spheres

Sphere position is defined by position of its bottom point (or the centre).

3.12. A contact a floor foot

At blow performance, at least, one foot of the playing should concern a floor, the penalty otherwise is imposed. The footwear should be normal on the size, the form and a way of carrying.

3.13. Performance of blow to a full stop of spheres

The player is punished фолом if strikes blow to a full stop битка or any aim sphere. (The sphere Rotating on a place is considered moving.)

3.14. Blow end

Blow is considered finished only after a full stop of all spheres on a table.

3.15. The house and a forward line

The forward line is not a house part. Therefore if game rules demand, that blow was put on spheres out of the lady the aim sphere located in accuracy on a forward line, is played. Accordingly and биток at introduction in game from the house (from a hand because of a forward line) it is not necessary to put directly on a forward line, and hardly more close.

3.16. The general rule for all infringements

Though in concrete billiard games for the same infringement various penalties, for all infringements fairly following General rule can be imposed: 1) the blow right passes to the contender, 2) any hammered sphere is not set off and 3) any sphere (spheres) is exposed only in the event that it is provided by rules of concrete game.

3.17. Missing on an aim sphere

Blow remains wrong if биток has not concerned any of legal aim spheres, i.e. the spheres the first contact with which is provided by rules of concrete game. Game aside from located closely to битку is not considered an aim sphere for blow on this sphere

3.18. Correct blow

Blow is considered correct (if rules of concrete game do not define this concept differently) if биток has concerned a legal aim sphere, and then: 1) or one of aim spheres has fallen in a billiard pocket, 2) or биток or any of aim spheres are finished to a board. Default of these requirements is infringement.

3.19. Falling битка in a billiard pocket

If at blow биток falls in a billiard pocket the player is fined. The penalty is imposed and in the event that биток has concerned aim sphere already played a billiard pocket (for example in the event that the billiard pocket is overflowed by aim spheres).

3.20. An interdiction of a contact of spheres

For a contact during game of any aim sphere or битка the body, clothes, a chalk, the machine, a staff кия, etc. impose the penalty. To concern битка it is possible only a label кия at performance of correct blow. If the meeting is spent under supervision of the judge last restores the disturbed aim spheres in their initial positions as more as possible carefully, the contender thus entering game has no right to accept developed (not restored) position. (Item 1.16 see also.)

3.21. Wrong installation битка

If at installation битка for game from a hand биток has touched any aim sphere the penalty is imposed.

3.22. An interdiction of double blows

If before blow биток concerns a corresponding legal aim sphere the player can strike blow in its party provided that blow is carried out correctly. If at performance of blow the label кия concerns битка more than once, and also if the label concerns битка, while биток concerns (or after биток has concerned) an aim sphere the penalty is imposed. (Refereeing in these cases is considered in item 2.20)

If closely to битку any third (illegal) aim sphere it is necessary to put blow aside from it settles down, the penalty otherwise is imposed.

3.23. An interdiction пропиха

If the player pushes биток, excessively stretching (in comparison with normal blow) time of contact of a label кия with chock the penalty is imposed. (Such blow usually name пропихом.)

3.24. Responsibility of the player for the accurate reference with billiard accessories

The player bears responsibility for the accurate reference with a chalk, machines, files and other subjects or accessories which it uses during game or brings with itself. If, for example, the player drops a chalk or forces down a forward part of the machine, and these subjects, in turn, touch any sphere (or only биток if the meeting is spent without the judge) the penalty is imposed.

3.25. Wrong перескок

The player is fined, if it deliberately throws биток кием from below upwards (' digs ' under it) on purpose to force it to jump through stirring aim sphere. Such перескоки sometimes occur inadvertently, and they cannot be considered in this case as infringement in itself. However if thus there is a contact битка ободком or a staff кия the penalty is imposed.

3.26. Correct перескок

If it does not contradict rules of concrete game it is authorised to carry out перескок raised кием, forcing биток to come off a table surface. However any кикс at performance перескока is fined.

3.27. The jumped out spheres

Jumped out the spheres which have stopped after blow out of a game surface of a table (on an elastic board, on a hand-rail, on a floor etc.) are considered. The sphere is not considered jumped out if it, having hit about the top part of an elastic board or a hand-rail, independently comes back again to a game surface, without having touched thus any other object which is not a stationary accessory of a table. (If the sphere touches any subject; not being a table accessory, for example, the lighting device, a chalk on a board or a hand-rail, etc. it is considered jumped out even if it after that independently comes back to a game surface.)

In all лузных billiard games blow in which result биток or any of aim spheres jumps out for a board, is fined. All jumped out aim spheres are exposed (an exception - ' the nine ') after a full stop of all spheres on a game surface of a table. Jumped out биток it is entered into game according to rules of each concrete Game.

3.28. The special penalty for deliberate infringement

If one of players, according to the judge deliberately strikes blow on битку not a label, and ободком, by a staff кия etc. besides penalty imposing it agree item 3.19 of the present Rules the judge does to the player the prevention and at repeated deliberate infringement sets off to it defeat in a match.

3.29. Simultaneous infringement of several rules

If at blow performance rules the player is punished by one фолом are broken at once some, the most strict penalty provided for most rough of infringements made at blow is thus imposed.

3.30. Spontaneous movement of spheres

If the sphere is displaced, rolls down, turns or any different way moves ' in itself ' it leave there where it will stop, and game proceeds. If зависший over a billiard pocket the sphere remains motionless within five seconds and more, and then falls in a billiard pocket it should be restored on a former place and to continue game.

If at blow performance the aim sphere spontaneously falls in a billiard pocket before impact with chock биток and an aim sphere restore on initial positions then blow repeats. As arrive and at spontaneous displacement at the moment of blow-any of other aim sphere.

3.31. Exhibiting of spheres

If according to rules of any concrete game it is necessary to expose one or several spheres after end of blow they settle down on a longitudinal line as follows: a sphere with the least number put on a back mark, and the others in ascending order numbers have one after another in a direction of a back board.

If spheres being on a table do not allow to fulfil the specified requirement exposed spheres have on a longitudinal line in accuracy as it is possible more close to a back mark closely to stirring aim spheres, without shifting them. If disturbs биток exposed spheres have as it is possible more close to it, but not closely.

In a case if for exposed spheres there is no place between a back mark and a back board, spheres expose on continuation of a longitudinal line before a back mark (between a back mark and the centre) as it is possible more close to it, thus the sphere with the least number should be in front, and the others in ascending order numbers settle down one after another towards a back mark.

3.32. The got stuck spheres

If two spheres also have more got stuck between the billiard pocket lips, thus one or the several зависли in air the judge should arrive as follows: it is necessary for it visually (and at desire and by practical consideration) спроецировать everyone зависший a sphere vertically downwards from position occupied by them and if thus the sphere, in its opinion, falls in a billiard pocket it is considered played and if is not present according to not played. According to the made judge an estimation spheres or remain on a table, or fall to a billiard pocket, and game proceeds.

3.33. The spheres which have fallen together with the played

If at performance of correct blow along with played billiard pockets other aim spheres they are set off according to rules of each concrete game fall also.

3.34. Intervention of the stranger

If during game spheres start moving owing to intervention of the extraneous person (directly or by any influence on the player who is carrying out blow) them return on initial positions and game proceeds, and the penalty for it is not imposed. If game official the position is restored by the judge. This rule should be applied also at such emergencies, as earthquake, hurricane, falling of the lighting device, failure, etc.; if it is impossible to restore a position, the party is changed, thus initial blow is made by the same player. The present rule, however, is not applicable to game ' 14-1 with continuation ' in which one party consists of consecutive pyramids. Therefore draw of a current pyramid interrupts, and draw new begins, is thus right initial blow is defined anew. The account, however, remains same what it was by the time of a party suspension.

3.35. Sequence of the first blow

If the meeting is spent to certain quantity of victories the winner of each job lot makes the first blow in the following. At the discretion of organizers of competitions following variants are possible: 1) players break by turns, 2) breaks lost, 3) breaks losing on parties.

3.36. The introduction into game of the contender

If the player could not hammer correctly in a sphere into a billiard pocket or has broken Rules game is entered by the contender.

If Rules are not broken, the contender accepts the position which has developed on a table.

3.37. Blow on the aim sphere, concerning boards or битка

Blow on the aim sphere which is in contact to a board or chock, should come to the end: 1) or falling of an aim sphere in a billiard pocket, 2) or finishing битка to a board, 3) or finishing of an aim sphere to other board (with which it originally was not in contact), 4) or finishing to a board of other aim sphere. Default at least involves one of these four requirements фол. (The Note: at game in ' 14-1 ' and some other games are imposed additional requirements, and also there is a number of features of application of the present Rule.)

The contact fact an aim sphere of a board should be testified the judge or one of players what should be declared before blow.

3.38. Game from a hand because of a forward line

At performance of blow from a hand because of a forward line (from the house) it is necessary, that биток at first left the house, and then has concerned a board or an aim sphere. Otherwise the penalty is imposed.

Exception: blow is considered correct if the played aim sphere settles down directly on a forward line or slightly behind it in such a manner that биток concerns it to an exit from the lady. Blow is considered wrong if to an exit from the house биток will casually touch any aim sphere being in the house. If such casual contact is not accompanied by an exit битка from the house it remains there where has stopped, and the contender entering game can play any aim sphere, both in the house, and out of it. If such action of the player is made purposely it is considered as unsportsmanlike behaviour.

3.39. Game from a hand

At game from a hand installation битка can be made a hand or any part кия (including a label). After installation битка any movement кия forward, accompanied by a contact битка, is considered as the blow beginning (correct or wrong).

3.40. Intervention in game of the contender

If the player distracts the contender or interferes with its game it is considered as infringement. Intervention considers blow drawing out of turn, and also displacement of any sphere during game of the contender.

3.41. Use of billiard accessories

Players are forbidden to use spheres, a triangle or any other measuring tool for finding-out of a question on, whether passes биток or any of aim spheres through some interval, etc. For these purposes can be used only кий, thus he should be had control over. Other actions are considered as infringement or unsportsmanlike behaviour. (Item 1.3,1.4 and 2.15 see also.)

3.42. The forbidden marking

If the player purposely on purpose to facilitate to itself blow performance by any way marks a table, for example, moistening cloth, having onboard a cube swept, etc. it is fined. If the player deletes a label before blow drawing the penalty is not imposed.
