Three-ball
Three-ball (or "3-ball", colloquially) is a folk game of pool played with any three standard pool and . The game is frequently gambled upon (typically for a twenty dollars (or equivalent) ante per round). The goal is to () the three object balls in as few shots as possible.〔(PoolSharp's "Three-Ball Rules" ). Note: This ruleset contradicts itself, in saying that the break is taken from the kitchen, which is an area, but also saying that it must be taken from the head ''spot''. It also suggests that "anything goes", i.e. that there are no fouls ''at all'' in three-ball, a contention not supported by any other source, but then also contradicts itself again, saying that fouls cost one point. This almost certainly was intended to me that scratches count as a 1-point loss, but other fouls do not apply, though this still does not agree with other rule sets.〕〔 Note: These rules seem to have been hastily assembled, and have several apparent mistakes (e.g. impossible instructions to rack three balls "in a diamond shape... numbered consecutively from one through nine"; etc.) It appears that the author simply adapted a simplified set of nine-ball rules to three-ball, a game in which several nine-ball rules are nonsensical. Further, these rules seem to be confused about whether it is a "shoot until you're done" game (as per VPHQ and PoolSharp), or a "lose your turn on a miss or foul" game (as per SuperPool).〕〔 Note: This ruleset is strongly bent toward nine-ball rules, including several that make no sense in the context of three-ball.〕〔 Note: These rules are produced by an equipment manufacturer and are somewhat vague on several points, as well as adopting nine-ball rules that are useless in three-ball, and are written in a self-contradictory manner with regard to handling of fouls.〕 Theoretically, any number of players can participate, in rotation,〔〔 but more than five can become unwieldy. The game involves a somewhat more significant amount of luck than either nine-ball or eight-ball, because of the disproportionate value of pocketing balls on the shot and increased difficulty of doing so. In some areas and subcultures, such as the Asian-American youth-dominated pool hall scene of San Francisco, California, three-ball is a popular local tournament game.
== Play ==
There are no widespread official or standardized rules for three-ball,〔(Billiard Congress of America's World Standardized Rules ) - no mention of three-ball.〕〔(World Pool-Billiard Association's Standardized Rules ) - no mention of three-ball.〕 though local tournaments promulgate rulesets that have some sway over area player populations even outside the context of the tournaments. Below are listed the most common, widely accepted rules.
The game is played on any pocket billiard table. Under tournament conditions, a single usually consists of three〔 or five〔 () per player (with each player's individual inning scores added to calculate their final score for the round), and a may consist of several multi-inning rounds, back-to-back or spread out over a period of time (even weeks).〔 In a gambling context, three-ball (like the group pool games killer and cutthroat, and the card game poker) is typically played in multiple games (each played out until someone wins the betting pool, then after new antes are placed, play begins again), sometimes for many hours, with players able to enter and leave as suits their finances and risk-aversion.)
