The Game of Bottle Pool:

This billiards game requires a lot of skill, some imagination and an empty beverage container or shaker bottle. The bottle, no matter if it is a leather or plastic container it uses as an obstacle in the middle of this billiards course. Because of the obstacle, the game of bottle pool is known to be a game of extreme skill. On the far right of the billiards table is placed the cue ball while the bottle is placed in the middle slightly overbalanced to one side and one or two balls to set up against the far wall at opposite ends.

For each numbered ball being pocketed are given a number of points and a combination of points are given for more difficult and caromed shots off to the wall. Until a foul or a ball is illegally pocketed or 31 total points are scored, the opening shooter continues his innings. In case of the 31 total points scored, then the game is ended. A foul is considered to be if the cue ball does not contact an object ball before it contacts the bottle or if the bottle is disturbed. If the bottle is disturbed then the game players must decide whether to play it in its new position or reset it.

The Game of Bowlliards:

This billiards game is pretty much similar to the game of bowling, and it has an obvious reference to it in the name. This is known to be one of the few billiards games that do not need an opponent or a competing shooter in other to be played. Just like the game of bowlliards, in bowling is a possibility of a perfect score, making the game ideal for individuals. Before breaking the ten billiard balls are set in a 1-2-3-4 diamond rack, and are re-spotted any balls pocketed from the breaking shot.

Until the shooter fouls or illegally pockets a ball or achieves a score of 10 points, the shooter gets to continue shooting in an inning. In a frame of bowlliards the score of 10 is the highest possible. Given only the two attempts per frame that a bowler gets and if the shooter pockets all ten balls in a single frame, then he gets the chance to move on to the next bowlliards frame.
