Where can I fins rules for games to print out

[Cue Crazy]

Hoping some of the fine people here can help Me. I have mostly played 8ball 9, 10 ball etc throughout My years. I've also played 3 ball 7, 1P, cutthroat and some others too, But I never played a lot of the games out there that some people play up north or even out west for that matter. Tried that game Chicago tonight, seemed pretty cool, although I need to learn the rules better, as with many other games that I'm not as familiar with. And after trying that, even though straight pool rules are pretty straight foreword , I played someone for a while, and we both had a few situations that We couldn't remember the rules on. It's strange how well I could remember the strategic aspects of the games where as a few simple rules went right over My head and just couldn't remember for sure.

Anyway this got me wondering if there was a site that has various rules posted that I could print off?

If not, Any individual links to any pool related game rules would be very
appreciated. :smile:

Thanks,
Greg

BCA Rule Book.

Viewable, printable, and "saveable" BCA rulebook: http://www.playbca.com/Downloads/Rulebook/CompleteRulebook/tabid/372/Default.aspx

...covers 8-ball, 9-ball, one-pocket, 14.1, etc. For other "regional" games, your best bet is to Google search or search the forums here on AZ.

You may not find some games which are regional in origin. One such game is Razzle, which may be a form of Chicago, played almost exclusively in the NE. I don't think I've ever seen the rules in print.

Maybe "Google" search??

Thanks for the replies, Yeah I can google them, Just figured that people here may know best what's out there, and available for print.

I forgot the 14-1 rules are in the BCA book, so that should help with the straight pool at least.

I guess some of the regional games may be hard to find as mentioned here. Wish there was something out there on those, but who knows, I'll google them and see what comes up. It gets confusing when One guy is teaching one set of rules to a game, and then another guy is saying that's not how We played where I am from. It's hard to learn the strategy when getting 2 different versions of the rules like that.

It does seem to stir more action up when willing to try new games though, and I'd like to learn as many different games as possible, so I can practice them.

Anyway, Thanks Again to everyone for the help and suggestions, I really do appreciate It.
