This is the first video (Part 1 – The Break) in a series of videos looking at International 8 Ball Rules in pool. In part 1 I talk through the break and how colour sets are decided. Coming from a World rules background I discuss how this set of pool rules differs and things to be aware of.
The International 8 ball pool rules have now been adpoted by the World Eightball Pool Federation (WEPF) and the English Pool Association (EPA) and is the rule set used in the Ultimate Pool Series. Formerly known as Supreme rules, this rule set was billed as a hybrid of World Rules and Blackball rules.
It aims to simplify the rules and brind things closer to the rules played in American 8 ball and Chinese 8 ball. The shots are carried out on a 7ft Supreme Winner UK 8 ball table
