They should make the game harder and play with regular tables. First person who scratches thrice loses.

@@psijicassassin7166 define regular.

@@IWillSayMyPeace A table with holes. Even noobs know. Why don't you? :)

@@psijicassassin7166 well I guess I am not a noob then. Whatever the f noob is. So only the things that _you_ are familiar with are "regular" in your meverse?

Is a very beatiful game. I play 3-cushion since i was 12 and I love it.

This is one of the most popular form of billiards in Korea. Pocketballs are only for girls there. Just a cultural thing You can find those billiard places literally every block in big cities

You would have a hell of a time finding even one in the United States.@@bfkoreanbomber6588

it's extremely difficult.... If you know the rules. Basically there's a few ways to score a point.. the most basic being hit 1 ball.. white ball needs to hit a minimum of 3 cushions.. then hit the other ball.

@@RajeshJustaguy you can also hit 3 cushion (minimum) before hit any ball. Or 1 cushion, ball, two cushion and ball. Or 2 cushion, ball, cushion, ball. Basically, you must hit at least 3-cushion before hit the second ball.

Just wondering guys, I’m not trying to publicise it or anything, it’s a free game anyway, but I just love it so much because it’s really well made… Company that makes it is called Tiger Eye,, and the game is called WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP BILLIARDS, if you didn’t know about it, go on it, you’ll have some fun… My nickname on it is CARAMBOLA ( from uk ) It’s more of a simulation than a game, really nice 3D graphics Ciao ;)

This game so hard but fun, u need caculation way of ball to score point

Oh shush

@@jama211 oh come on that was funny

Just like British snooker, it's a boring game where the crowd applauds after every shot.

Success!

Zanetti's last shot was very fanny

That shot requires a lot of skill and nerve even though it's so simple, a shot completely void of english.

It reminds me of another boring game called :"snooker" where people applaud after every shot.

This is practice pool. So you don't accidentally scratch the queue ball. Good for beginners!

@@holyswordStockholm This game, 3 cushion carom billiards, is incredibly difficult.

It's a target game: the first to reach a certain number of points (usually 40 or 50) wins. Each succesful carom scores 1 point.

Yeah, there’s always been freestyle, 1, 2 and 3 cushion,. What I never even heard of, is the artistic, billiards discipline… I didn’t know it was an actual game with scoring points and tournaments. I thought it was just exhibition shots being exhibited at exhibition events and that’s all.

Yup, 3 ball and no rules is billard france ( libre billard)

.... and humor although failed.

유쾌 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Losing with style and after a great game, well that's a skill.

wouldn't you think that he could've contacted the white ball if he didn't humourously move it? i mean the cueball had so much spin it could reach it after contacted that last short rail

@@farouklouati7237 I think it was also a way to resign.

On my country we don't have it,I just arrived to this billiard game thanks to the LG WebOS TV,first I watched it on a department store from my hometown,then in a hotel,now I totally want to play it!!!!!!

​@@lucasnassar2778 3 cushion is popular in region asean,

Snooker.

@@ungobungo7986 I found snooker to be easier than 3-cushion billiards

@@crondawg101 whats your highest break

@@ungobungo7986 20 something in snooker. My highest break in 3-cushion is 2

only problem with that is 2 of those games arnt pool

@gigie555 - I love your idea of an all-cue-sports championship but I doubt it will ever happen. A little education: All cue sports (balls-on-a-table with or without pockets) are called billiards. A subsection of those, like 9 Ball, are often called pool, but they're also billiards. Snooker and 3-cushion billiards are never "pool," they're always billiards. If you want a definitive cue sports champion, you'd need a lot more than only those 3 of the many varieties of billiards. There's at least a dozen main billiard games and many sub-varieties as well. Anything less than all recognized major billiards games would be inadequate to crown a champion of all major cue sports. And some of them, like 3-cush and snooker and English billiards, are so different and highly specialize that I'm afraid few players would take the necessary time to master them all. Cheers, m8.

@@rodmact6548 I believe he means finding a way to create an all encompassing scoring system to give one unified score to any given player (e.g. 130 points to that snooker player and he become the champion)

I believe the top snookers players who enter would win.

But there are at least 3 versions of cannon billiards as well as English billiards, (played like Snooker on a full size English table) and also a variety - 3/4 ? - of different 'pool' games. I doubt if anyone plays all or even more than 1 or two of them.

Right? It looks so hard! I have no idea how they work out which shots to play

Four things: a steady hand, practice, practice, and practice

Excelente comentario, me mató la ilusión en la carambola 16 en serie de Zanetti.

Understatement if I ever read one.

Почему? Их что, нет в живых?

It’s God-level geometry with some English for flavor.

toi aussi ta raison

I came from a LG WebOS TV in my hometown's hotel,but the very first time was in a department store while the huge TV was on display and I found it interesting

The top players, like these two, do. They don't make as much as top snooker players but they earn enough to live comfortably.

bu saydığın adamların her birinin oyun disiplinin 5'te biri semih'te olsa her sene final oynar ya da şampiyon olurdu. semih artistik bilardo ile anılmak istendi. büyük oyuncularla yaptığı maçlarda hep geride, hele blomdahl'a karşı hep ezilmiştir. Allahtan yıllar önce Ceulemans'ı yenmiş de ona tutunup duruyoruz

3-cushion is the most elegant and frustrating game I've ever played, a gem of a sport! 😃

U can say it is billard france or libre billard

Yup. I just LOVE it more and more

There’s a nice simulation on mobile phones, it’s called WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS BILLIARDS, from Tiger Eye. My name is CARAMBOLA there ( from uk >> GB flag)

Well it would clearly be a very similar game. (But they don't!)

@@adrianwright8685 I disagree. You don't only have to make the point, you also have to play defensive in case you miss. If both play the same cue ball, then positioning for the next shot is in conflict with defense.

I've never played this ( I'm from the uk ) do you know how big these tables are ? They look about the size of a snooker table 12ft by 6ft but as you said you used to play hopefully you can tell me,thanks

@@davidmellish3295 Yes, The official Match tables are the same size as a snooker table, they are called “Grand Billiard tables”, but there is also a smaller “pub- size” regular table.

@@kazhilly ok thanks

@@kazhilly ​ and @David Mellish - I've never seen 3-cushion played on any table larger than a standard 8 foot pool table, and certainly never on a 12-foot snooker table. Where in the world did you see such a thing?

@@rodmact6548 go to see these matches and you will see. And don’t forget the “visual effect”, a snooker table can LOOK bigger because the balls on a snooker table are Much smaller. A 3-cushion match table is 3 metres long, which is pretty similar to a snooker table. But these Big 3-cushion tables are quite rare, you will only find them in billiard clubs and some specialised pubs.

First Q: No. You can play away from it but it wont be counted as a hit. Second one: you must have completed 3 cushions before the carom is realized, which ever order is not important. So it could be: b1 c c c b2, or ccc b1 b2, or c b1 cc b2 ... etc. C's being cushions and b's balls. As to your question: If you make a carom after only 2 cushions does not matter if you hit 5 cushions after that you have not scored.

It was a legal shot, because he did end up hitting the second (in this case yellow) ball after hitting 3 cushions. It does not matter that the cue ball touched the yellow only after the red had been hit for a second time. pushing the white towards the yellow. As long as 3 cushions have been hit before hitting the second of the two balls, all is fine. But... the balls ended touching. The referee confirmed the point by declaring the new score and than ruled that the cueball was making contact with another ball (the yellow) by declaring 'contact'. This is a rare situation and invokes a rule: starting a shot the current player's cue ball may not be in contact with another ball. This situation demands for a sort of a 'rerack' of the touching balls to designated spots on the table (apparently the lower mid position from the start for the cue ball and the dead center for the other if so available) Should the other two balls end up touching though, play may continue, in my knowledge. Different reasons can be thought of as to why this rule has been added. For one it is not allowed to make 'push shots' (jamming the cue ball between the cue and a very near ball and by doing so effectively hitting the cueball prolonged or multiple times). This rule leaves only playing the angles away from the touching ball. Probably this situation has been deemed too hampering (especially because a touching ball can very well happen confining the cue ball even more between cushions and a ball) taking away from the purity of the game. Another reason might be that every shot from a ball in contact is considered a 'push' no matter the angle or it is historically proven an unfair advantage or disadvantage.

So, Jaspers stops at 40 points ( first to 40, I take it?) and Zanetti has 1 more visit at the table to try and at least equalise for a shootout? Is that it? But even if so, why did Z get a re-rack ? Tx in advance ;)

@@user-tx9ys8cn6x Yes, that is. Zanetti had a re-rack for the same reason, to equalise oportunities. It's called "counter-start" (at least as common name between players)

역시 줄자형 아직도 넘버원이네

@@roryroy1630 toyoyoaradukutamatétoyotayamamotocacapoté

I would think a cue with a bit of weight in them

ta raison

They have 40 seconds, with a visual warning at 30 seconds. If no visual warning then the referee warns.

They have short time to calculation ball roll

1 - long cushion, 2 - red ball, 3, 4 - corner (it means two cushions, even if at the same time), 5 - white ball

The one next to Zanetti 🤣🤣 It’s the one with short hair ;)
