it is the best-of 5 format so whoever reach 3 wins first will advances to the next round.players will roll the balls to the edge of the table,who's the closest will get to break the balls first then after that take turns.players must call the shots.
9-Ball Rules
1. Aim of the game
The game is played with nine object balls numbered one through nine and a cue ball (the white ball).
The aim is to pocket the 9-ball with a legal shot. On each shot the first ball the cue ball contacts must be the lowest-numbered ball on the table, but the balls need not be pocketed in order.
2. Opening break
The object balls are racked in a diamond shape, with the one ball at the top of the diamond and on the foot spot, the 9-ball in the center of the diamond, and the other balls in random order.
The game begins with the cue ball in hand behind the head string.
3. Play & Win
A player is entitled to continue shooting until he fails to legally pocket a ball. It is no foul if he fails but then the opposing player is next.
A player has to complete one shot in 60 seconds, otherwise a foul is called, and incoming player gets cue ball in hand.
If the 9-ball is pocketed by a foul shot then the 9-ball is respotted.
4. Fouls
Bad hit - If the first object ball contacted by the cue ball is not the lowest-numbered ball on the table.
No rail - If no object ball is pocketed and neither the cue ball, nor any numbered ball hits the rail.
Scratch - The cue ball is pocketed.
Timeout - The shot is not completed in 60 seconds.
After a foul shot the incoming player has the cue ball in hand; he can place it anywhere on the table (not necessarily behind the head string).
5. Losing the game
If a player fouls three consecutive times on three successive shots without making an intervening legal shot he loses the game.
