How do you play eight ball or pool? How do you rack em up for 8 ba

dont forget that you need to go 1 on top, 2 left bottom corner, 3 bottom right, 4 center right, five center left, etc, 8 ball goes in the center. and you have to go solid, stripe, solid, stripe.

your a smart guy realize dan this topic is over 3 years old lmao

^ what he said, I love pool ^_^ GL

The correct way to rack is: (Reading the rows from left to right)row 1 solid, row 2 solid stripe, row 3 stripe eight soild, row 4 soil stripe soild stripe, row 5 stripe soild stripe stripe soild. solid in front, eight in middle, stripe soid on oppisite bottom corners

Don’t forget that no matter how old this post is, it stil lcomes up on a Google search, and is still 100% INNACURATE. While in some amateur circles the balls are alternated solid/stripe in the rack, according to the World Standardized Rules of 8-Ball the only requirements for a valid rack are as follows:

1. The eightball is in the center of the rack
2. The back two corner balls are opposites (one solid, one stripe)

Traditionally, the 1-ball is used as the front-most ball, but it really doesn’t matter.
