Level One – Bronze Routines

1. Cue-Ball Potting

Form a pyramid of six reds behind the pink spot.

Play the cue-ball from the D to open the reds. Replace each red with the cue-ball and pot the cue-ball into any pocket

Count reds potted during the break off.

Award a point for each cue-ball potted.

If score achieved, record below.

2. Centre Ball Striking

Place the cue-ball on the black spot.

Play the cue-ball six times along the spots, within a ball’s width of tolerance either side, so that at least part of the cue-ball comes to rest between the bottom cushion and the baulk line.

The cue-ball can strike the baulk cushion.

Award a point each time the shot is achieved.

If score achieved, record below.

3. Playing from the Cushion

Evenly space six reds two balls widths from the side cushion.

Replace each red with the cue-ball and pot the cue-ball into the opposite middle pocket.

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

If score achieved, record below.

4. Straight Potting

With the first red put on the blue spot, line six reds a ball’s width apart.

Place the cue-ball behind each red in turn and pot the six reds into the facing middle pocket.

It does not count if the cue-ball follows the red into the pocket!

Award a point for each red potted into the facing middle pocket.

If score achieved, record below.

5. Clearing Up

As shown, place a coloured ball on the lip of each pocket. Then put six points on the scoreboard.

Clear the colours in sequence removing a point from the scoreboard each time a mistake is made.

If a mistake is made, re-set the balls still to be potted and place the cue-ball by hand to continue the clearance.

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

If score achieved, record below.
