Level Three – Bronze Routines

1. potting

Form a pyramid of six reds behind the pink spot.

Play the cue-ball from the D to open the reds. Place the cue-ball for each shot and pot the reds.

Count reds potted from the break off and if a pot on a red is missed take the red off the table after it has stopped rolling.

Award a point for each red potted.

If score achieved, record below.

2. Tight against Cushion

Evenly space six reds tight against a top side cushion rail.

Replace each red in turn with the cue-ball and pot the cue-ball six times into the facing middle pocket.

Award a point for each cue-ball potted into the middle pocket.

If score achieved, record below.

3. Safe Pink

Spot the pink.

Playing the cue-ball from the D, have six goes at potting the pink so that any part of the cue-ball comes back to rest behind the baulk line.

Count the shot if the pink is potted or any part of the cue-ball comes back to rest behind the baulk line.

Award a point for a pot and a point for bringing the cue-ball back to rest behind the baulk line (maximum six points).

If score achieved, record below.

4. Potting with the Nap

Line six reds a ball’s width apart half way between the pink and black spots as shown.

Placing the cue-ball for each shot, pot the reds into the facing middle pocket.

Don’t forget to use the nap!

Award a point for each red potted.

If score achieved, record below.

5. Clearing Up

Line six reds two balls’ widths apart with the blue spot splitting them in half and put six points on the scoreboard.

Clear the reds, playing the cue-ball from where it finishes. Remove one point from the scoreboard after each miss.

The reds can be potted into any pocket. Re-set the cue-ball and any unpotted reds after each miss.

Continue until no points remain or all the reds are potted.

If score achieved, record below.
