One Pocket Match Duration Limits and Express Rules

The regular Derby City One Pocket rules apply for the first 2 hours of match play.

At the match duration limits, a Referee will come to the table and implement phased Express Rules.

2 Hour Express Rule

• Each player will get one more turn at the table, and then any more than 4 object balls above the head-string will spot at the end of each player’s inning.

• Spotted balls will be the object balls closest to the head-rail. A ball is considered above the head-string if any part of the ball is touching the head-string. (Edge of ball determines)

• If 2 or more object balls are the same distance from the head-rail, the incoming shooter will designate which ball to spot.

3 Hour Express Rule

• Each player will get one more turn at the table, and then any more than 2 object balls above the head-string will spot at the end of each player’s inning.

• Spotted balls will be the object balls closest to the head-rail. A ball is considered above the head-string if any part of the ball is touching the head-string. (Edge of ball determines)

• If 2 or more object balls are the same distance from the head-rail, the incoming shooter will designate which ball to spot.

4 Hour Express Rule

• The player that is leading in the game and ball count wins the match.

• If both players are tied in the game and ball count, the next player to take the score lead (games plus ball count) wins the match. (This score lead can be determined by pocketing a ball or a foul shot)
