Extracted from Wikipedia:
Dating to approximately 1800, English Billiards is a hybrid of carom and pocket billiards played on a 6 foot (1.8 m) by 12 foot (3.7 m) table. Like most carom games, it requires two cue balls and a red object ball. The object of the game is to score either a fixed number of points, or score the most points within a set time frame, determined at the start of the game.
Points are awarded for:
- Two-ball Cannons: striking both the object ball and the other (opponent's) cue ball on the same shot (2 points)
- Winning hazards: potting the red ball (3 points); potting the other cue ball (2 points)
- Losing hazards (or "in-offs"): potting one's cue ball by cannoning off another ball (3 points if the red ball was hit first; 2 points if the other cue ball was hit first, or if the red and other cue ball were "split", i.e. hit simultaneously).
