Does anyone know where I can find complete rules to Artistic billiards? A diagram of all shots would be nice. Also called Fantasy Billiards. A bit taken from wiki:

Artistic Billiards is a carom billiards discipline in which players compete at performing 76 preset shots of varying difficulty. Each set shot has a maximum point value assigned for perfect execution, ranging from a 4-point maximum for lowest level difficulty shots, and climbing to an 11-point maximum for shots deemed highest in difficulty level. There is a total of 500 points available to a player, representing the combined value of a perfect score on all 76 shots, although not all games are played with the full shot catalogue.
 
The Wiki page needs to be revised. The shots and the form of the competition have changed. The official site of the world governing body for Artistic Billiards is http://www.ciba-online.net/

There are now 100 set shots and the competition is always in head-to-head matches as far as I know.

I have a copy. It's not for sale. *grin* But he might have an extra copy or two....
 
Not sure how I'd contact him to find out. I would love to have the rules with diagrams though for all shots. Updated with the 100 shots now though I'm sure my friends and I probably won't be playing all 100 of them, it would be great practice. Loads of fun.
