What is 10ball?

10-ball is a cue sport that is similar to pool. It is played with ten numbered balls and is known for its challenging gameplay. The game is played on a pocketed pool table that is identical to those used in eight-ball and nine-ball pool.

The objective of the game is to legally pocket the ten balls in numerical order, from one to ten. This means that players must first pocket the lowest numbered ball on the table, then move on to the next one. If a player pockets a ball out of order, he or she loses the game.

10-ball is considered to be a more challenging game than eight-ball or nine-ball because it requires a higher level of skill and strategy. Players must make careful decisions about shot selection and positioning, as well as managing the cue ball to avoid getting snookered.

The rules of 10-ball vary slightly depending on the tournament or venue, but the basic principles remain the same. It is a popular game among serious pool players and professionals, and can be found in pool halls and bars around the world.

Some of the prominent 10-ball tournaments include the Derby City Classic, the World Pool Masters, and the Atlantic Challenge Cup. The game is also featured in international event such as the World Games and the Asian Games.
