Winning The Game
The object is to be the last player with at least one ball left on the table. When a player has no balls on the table, he is said to be 'out' and his shot is skipped in the rotation of taking shots. Under normal rules (where balls are retrieved on a scratch), if one of the remaining players scratches, the "out" man can recover a ball and return to the game.
