Talk:Cutthroat (pool)

Continued Play Added

I've added rules on how to play a match, however these are not official rules as I believe none exist. They are very useful though to anyone looking to play matches rather than just counting who has won the most games. --Khyrzton (talk · contribs)

That sounds very, very much like made up stuff and original research, which are forbidden in Wikipedia articles. Do you have any third-party sources for this match points system? If not, it will be deleted. It may be much more appropriate for some other sort of site, like BilliardForum, etc. — SMcCandlish [talk] [cont] ‹(-¿-)› 20:37, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

5-player variant

I'm not sure if it's only a local thing ( I live in Central Florida ), but I've played cutthroat games where five people each defend their own set of three balls, with all the same rules. Anyone mind if I add this? -(noob)

Yes. It needs to be sourced. Even the main article isn't sourced yet, and adding more WP:IKNOWIT stuff to it without sources is likely to get the entire article deleted. Instead of adding local curiosities, please instead look for reliable sources for the basic material. — SMcCandlish [talk] [cont] ‹(-¿-)› 20:41, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

Determining the winner in cutthroat

WHAT IF TWO PLAYERS REMAIN, THEY EACH HAVE ONE BALL LEFT ON THE TABLE.THE ONE PLAYER MAKES THE OPPONENTS BALL, BUT SCRATCHES. HE LOSES HIS TURN AND THE OPPONENT WINS THE GAME AS HIS BALL WILL BE PLACED BACK ON THE TABLE. IS THIS CORRECT ? 67.142.161.32 (talk) 19:31, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
