I wonder if anyone has Rule for Korean 4 ball or could direct me to sources about the game on any websites. Any information would be helpful including books on 4ball.

Thanks

i was recently taught. i'll try.

2 cue balls: one yours, one theirs. 2 reds. initial setup: one red on the headspot, one on the footspot, one CB behind that one (there was a dot on the table). breaker has BIH in kitchen.

the game has two stages. first is like balkline, just hit both reds. a hit is 10 points, and slop counts; however, if you hit their CB with yours, it's a foul and you lose 10. when i say slop counts, i mean anything can hit anything as long as you hit both reds and not their CB.

the players had a handicap (i saw around 100-250). after you get your # of points (i was playing 150, or 15 shots), you're in endgame. you can't foul anymore, your score is locked. to win, you must hit a 3-cushion shot. i'm not sure how clean that shot needs to be...

hope that helps...it took me a while to figure it out, but the guy who taught me was pissed he lost to a pool player :D

Thank Steev, I been watching tbc tv 4 ball videos, which is my disadvantage,since it in Korean. After you hit both red.Can a red ball hit their cueball for a legal hit?
 
as log as the two whiteys don't touch it's all good.

i think the 3c shot at the end might have to be clean.
