English Billiards

English billiards, called simply billiards in the UK and in many former British colonies, is a cue sport that combines the aspects of carom billiards and pool. Two cue balls and a red object ball are used. Each player or team uses a different cue ball.

It is played on a billiards table with the same dimensions as one used for snooker and points are scored for cannons and pocketing the balls.
