How did the game of "billiards" started?
what sportHow many times can my opponent make me play a shot following a snooker?
Funny, I was actually just pondering this exact question about 10 minutes ago. A potential student of mine posed to me the same question. To paraphrase the American Heritage Dictionary, a sport is "...an activity involving physical exertion and skill, governed by a set of rules and customs, often played competitively...". By this definition, the main debate over billiards being considered a "sport" will be how much "exertion" is involved. Exertion implies strenuous activity. It's somewhat relative. I know that most people only play for an hour or two, but it can be very fatiguing to play a marathon match, say for 6 hours or longer. Regardless if it's a sport or a game, I love it with all my heart. M.D.-BCA Instructor/Referee.P.S. "uao621" should get the points. Great answer!
Whats the min. square footage needed in a room to shoot a good game on a 8ft table of pool?
I say it's a sport. The amount of pysical exertion involved may be minimal, but that's true of a lot of other sports. The tactician in an America's Cup race doesn't do anything but give the helmsman advice, but no one says the AC is not a sport. I could say the same thing about golf or archery or any number of other sports. It's really just a matter of semantics.I cant seem to get in the pool room now do i have to pay for that?
Pool and snooker is a sport just like curling!!Who is the oldest active tour player men or women?
Of course it's not a sport. If you don't sweat it's not a sport. It is a fun game to play just like curling or bowling. If you can play the game while being over 300 lbs. it ain't a sport. Although NFL linemen fit into that category, they sweat like pigs when they have to move.World 8-ball Pool Rules What Happens if ball drops?

Why is jeanette lee the hottest pool player ever?
oh yes its a sport, i know this becuz i shoot the game between 4 and 8 hours a day and play competion. also i tried something one time while i was playing, i attached one those walking meters to my belt to tell me how far i walk around the table, on average i was walking 3 to 4 miles a day just playing pool and i also sweat a little too, if ur really serious into the game of pool like other sports it takes a lot of knowlege, practice and hard work to be a champion in this sport. it also can be played for fun just like any other sport. if this was not a sport anyone could pick up a cue and run out 50 racks in a row and be a champion, or pick up a football for the first time and run three touchdowns in a row, this is very unlikly. like all sports it takes a lot of hard work, time and practice to get anywhere in the sport of billiardsWhen i play yahoo pool and someone invites me to play it doesnt work when i accept, what do i do?
