As per a billiards reference. It means your in a bad situation, down and out, experiencing bad luck or in deep trouble.

Pool if you knock in the strip or solid then thats what you are during the whole game until you are going for the 8 ball. 9 ball is just using the balls 1 through 9 and you have to knock them in order and saving the 9 ball for last. Who ever knocks in the 9 ball out of order loses.

go to NZ they are the the current world champs!!Just kidding! When I played (while ago now) i always found it easier to defend by standing alongside your opponent. this sucked the opposition into thinking u werent defending and they always threw the ball to ure partner where you just cut her out and took the pass.Its about making the opportunities available but you effectively dictating the play.As I was a GA my main job was to stay out in the circle to encourage my team to give the ball to GS.Also stand right up behind ure defender then step back at the last minute to take the lofted pass over there heads.Becos you suddenly moved they normally fell or were wrong footed to jump. Try and anticipate your oppositions moves. that means think tactically and strategically to foil there attempts when defending. good luck.

well there are 6 players on the court from one team at a time. 7 if you have a DS. it's not a timed sport you play for points. you play by getting the ball over the net by passing or setting or hitting without hitting it out of bounds. you score by having the other team hit it out or having them not get it over in their three tries. you win by winning 2 out of three games to 25 or 3 out of 5 fames to 25. depends on the rules. basically the back row wants to pass the ball to the setter so the setter can set up the hitter to slam the ball in the other teams face =]

One player shoots the ball from any spot on the court.  If he makes it, everybody else must make the same shot.  If they all make it, nothing happens, and the process starts over again with the first person taking a new shot.  If any player misses, he or she gets the letter H, and the next player takes a new shot.  The first player to get HORSE loses.  If you want to get more complex, the first shooter can call "Glass" or "Swish" before his shot, in which case he and all subsequent players must bank or swish the shot, or else it counts as a miss.  The game is sort of hard to explain in words though, and your best bet is to find someone who knows the rules and actually learn while playing.  If this is not possible, I hope my directions help.

It is a foul shot.\n\nThe nine-ball is respotted and the other player is awarded ball in hand.

in 9 ball you have to hit the lowest numbered ball 1st or it is a ball in hand fall.if you scratch.if you dont hit a rail after you contact the lowest number ball with either the cue ball or the object ball. in 8 ball you have ball in hand if...you dont hit one of your balls and a rail.you scratch.

That guy had a complicated answer. Here's what it means simply:\n\nYou are three holes up on your oponent with two holes left to play. \n\nTherefore the match is over because you are winning by more holes than there are remaining, therefore the final score is 3 and 2.

C is at the end, so its just the other 8 positions to play with.\n\nCount how many permutations of those 8 there are.\n\nThen count how many there are where A and B stand side by side.\n\nThen subtract those out.\n\nEdit:  Poster below me is way off.  without any restrictions, 9 men could be arranged in over 360000 ways.   Not 81.\n\nBasically, you can take 'C' out of it.  There are 8 spots left, and 8 men.  Spot 1 can hold any of the 8.  spot 2 any of the remaining 7 and so on, giving 8X7X6X5X4X3X2 which is 8! possibilities.\n\nThat's 40320.\n\nOf those 40320, some involve A and B being side by side.  How many?  Well, they could be in slot 1&2, 2& 3 .... up to 7&8.  And they could be A-B or B-A.  That's 14 possibles.  For each of those 14, the other 6 spots could be filled 6! ways.\n\nSo there are 14 X 6! = 14 X 720 = 10800 combos with C in the 9 spot and A & B side by side.\n\nTherefor, of the 40320 with C in the 9 spot, 40320-10800 = 30240 possible arrangements have C at the end, but A and B NOT side by side.

Break the rack from the side and hit the 2nd ball(legal in 8 ball) or the one behind the 1 ball with some "draw" to keep from scratching.....hit thru and not down or it will jump and maybe cause of foul and you don't want that specially if you made the 8 ball.....you lose!!.....2nd ball in and little draw and watch the 8 ball move to the side pocket.....just try it and see it move....not every time but your chances are improved for a "snapper"!!!!
