Anybody know the exact rules?
Rules to rotation phillipino style?
- Thread starter Socopool79
- Start date
Full rack
Balls must be made in order
Each ball is worth the point number the of the ball (i.e. 1 ball is 1 point, 13 ball is 13 points)
First to get to 61 points wins
3 foul rule is in effect
Slop does count
If you scratch and make a ball, that ball is spotted. (At least in the rules I've played by)

On a legal shot, if you make a ball without intending to pocket it, you still get the points.
Adding "Call Shot" to the rules would remove that from the equation.
15 Ball Rotation is a great game, I hope it makes a comeback.
I even like playing 9 Ball Rotation where the points decide the winner. It's a quicker game.
Playing 8 Ball rotation is fun too (outside in or inside out) adds a little spice to the game.

There was a thread a while back that helped me out:

What about the live ball being either the highes or lowest on the table...?
Do the big boys play like that, or is it just the bangers around me?

Another great money game is called CHicago...Just like rotation with a few twists......1,5,8,10,15 are all money balls....so if you have lets say 4 people playing,,,,,,,you draw for order of play...balls pocketed in rotation, who ever gets one of the money balls gets a buck from each player. at the end of the rack add up the face value points of balls you pocketed, who ever has highest points each rack also gets a buck from each player.......great game so its 6 points per rack if you get them all.......( you can play for any amount per money ball)
We also do all ODD balls are money balls. And if you sink all the ODD balls (money balls), everyone owes you DOUBLE!!
just want to make a correction.there is no 3 foul rule in rotation.if failed to hit the object ball,shooter has option to leave it as it is or spot the ball and cue ball anywhere behind the line.
correct. if you attempt to do a safety shot and the safety shot is successful, your opponent would declare "spot". the object ball would then be spotted then you shoot it with the CB anywhere behind the line.
what most people practice/develop in 15-ball rotation is shooting a "spotted" object ball, and doing carom or combination shots to shoot the higher balls.
All your skills come into play in 15 ball rotation. Combo's, banks, caroms, safes, kicking (no jump cues), 3 cushion. I wish Efern and Busta would put on a show somewhere in the states...like TAR. Then if you've never seen it played by top players you'd be in for a suprise. When you run a rack of 15 ball rotation you've done something. Too many are worried about whats good for TV. I say build the streams up first and it will sell to tv fast. Johnnyt

I agree, that's why the Pinoy's are who they are. The problem is, what are the rules? It's as bastardized as 8 ball? Serious 61 with world standardized rules....I'd pay to watch that...one game might take awhile though

From what I see watching it on streams played for money by top players in the PI, they play it by 10-ball rules. I like to watch this version of it. Johnnyt

What about some sort of DCC type a tourney with Rotation, Banks and One Pocket... I'm sure the Pinoy's would dominate. No mainstream games...ESPN probably wouldn't like? But I'd watch it all day/night long. Jim Wyche and MarK Wilson commentating:grin-square::grin-square::grin-square:
