How do you play?

Straight Pool (or 14.1 Continuous) is a game of calling each ball in a pocket with no regard to solids/stripes or numerical order. Every object ball that is legally pocketed is worth 1 point. The shooter’s inning continues until the player misses or commits a foul. 1 point is subtracted for each foul committed. Once 14 object balls are pocketed, those 14 balls are re-racked (head ball will be missing). The shooter then aims to pocket the 15th ball and break the rack to continue pocketing balls. Each rack is worth 14 points. The first player to reach the designated point goal for the game wins the game. See the detailed rules on the BCA web site.
