Cue Sports

Table games played with a cue stick and balls on a cloth-covered table with pockets, where players strike the cue ball to pot object balls in a required order. Snooker and pool are the type cases, differing in table size, ball sets and the rules for scoring and fouls. They are governed together under the World Games cue sports federations. Every sport filed in this group belongs to the Precision Sports category and has its own entry in the Sport and Games Atlas, from which a reader can follow links on to its leading athletes, its competitions and the governing bodies that set its rules.
