Idea for a new game

[Guda]

Anybody been watching 'Curling'?

How about a new pool game where the player shoots his object ball attempting to stop on the foot spot while two of his teammates with toothbrushes brush the felt directly in front of the traveling cueball.

Anybody interested in starting a league?

How about pool shuffleboard? Use your balls to knock the other guy's balls into the pockets (i.e. off the board).

No, but seriously...

Funny you should joke about this. I was thinking it would be fun to play a game almost exactly like curling (but without the brushes) on a billiards table (no pockets). Just draw a similar target on one end of the table and try to place your balls near the center and knock your opponent's balls away.
When I was watching curling, I just kept thinking it would be more fun if you could use draw and follow and bank shots.
