table markings

[mohrt]

Are there "standard" table markings for 14.1? Are they illustrated somewhere online? Is there a specific type of rack used to draw the outline of the rack?

Thanks

when drawing the outline, just draw it with the rack that you are always going to be using on that table. I like having the line drawn from the spot to the bottom rail too, makes it real convenient when having to spot balls back in the rack area.

Use the triangle you are going to use to rack the balls. If you have tapped the table (made dents or used donuts), mark with a triangle anyway. Mark the long string from the spot to the foot rail and mark the foot spot. Mark the headstring. Mark the head spot and the center spot.

If you don't have eight/nine ball players on your table, mark the head spot but do not use a sticker.

When you say "mark the head/foot spot" should that be a small circle about the size of a paper reinforcement ring?

For 14.1 there should be no sticker anywhere on the table, neither ring nor round patch. Mark the spots with pencil or tailor's chalk. At 14.1 it is not needed. On nine ball tables, do what you will.
