I'm drawing a picture to have put on my brother's birthday cake..please help.?
He's insane over pool (billiards) and i'm drawing a pool table with the balls racked at one end and a pool stick with the cue ball lying on the other end. Can anyone tell me or show me a picture of how the balls are supposed to be racked?

In which snooker tournament which was shown on BBC in 2006 or 2005 did they introduce a group stage?
It depends on the game. For 9 ball it's 1 in the front , nine in the middle and the rest are random. There are different racks for 8 ball depending on the venue. In my league we just go solid , stripe around the perimeter and 8 in the middle. For straight pool it is just random. I hope this helps ya.When playing pool on yahoo.com how do you hit the ball?
Starting from one at the top, continue in order from left to right.My friend, "eightbraker" is correct. Just to elaborate on BCA rules for 8-ball, as long as you have the 8-ball in the middle and the back corners different suits (one stripe and one solid), it's legal. I also like to alternate the stripes and solids, but it's not required. "Eightbraker" is right on the money for 9-ball. It's kind of a strange rule for straight pool, but under BCA rules, on the opening rack, the 1 ball is to be placed on the racker's right corner and the 5 ball on the left corner. I've never understood why, but it's in the rules. All subsequent racks are entirely random. "Eightbraker" should get the points. M.D.-BCA Instructor/Referee.
P.S. Wish your brother a happy birthday for me. May all the rolls go his way.
