Blonde Girl Playing At The Billiard Table

Pool tables, sometimes called pocket billiards tables, are specific to the various pool games such as eight-ball, nine-ball, straight pool and one-pocket. As the name implies, pocket billiards tables have pockets; normally six of them – one at each corner of the table (corner pockets) and one at the midpoint of each of the longer sides (side pockets).
Dimensions
Pocket billiard tables come in different sizes, typically referred to as 9-foot, 8-foot, or 7-foot tables. In all cases, the playing surface (the dimensions between the noses of the cushions) is rectangular with a 2:1 ratio. For a 9-foot table, the playing surface measures 100 inches by 50 inches (254 cm × 127 cm) with a 1/8 inches (3.175 mm) margin of error for either dimension. For an 8-foot table, the playing surface measures 92 inches by 46 inches (233.68 cm × 116.84 cm), again with a 1/8th of an inch margin of error for either dimension. These are the only two sizes authorized for tournament play by the World Pool-Billiard Association (WPA). The playing surface for a 7-foot table is 76 inches by 38 inches (193.04 cm × 96.52 cm).
