Pool Shoot Tournament
The live table combines bubble-shooter aiming with numbered balls: five pocket values, a dotted guide, five bombs, and a score that stayed at zero after our first shot setup.

This is not a standard pool rack
The opening table contained red, green and yellow numbered balls arranged across a bright field. Five pockets along the top carried values of 50, 100, 250, 100 and 50. A dotted guide rose from the current ball toward the 250-point center pocket.
The layout reads more like a projectile puzzle than a conventional cue-sport simulation. The current ball, projected path and pocket rewards are all visible before committing.
What our first click changed
We clicked the table to test the default shot direction. The aiming state changed and the current ball presentation switched, while the score remained zero. The combo indicator stayed at ×0 and the bomb counter stayed at 5.
Because no points were awarded in that moment, this page does not describe the shot as a successful pocket. The screenshot records the live board and HUD, which is enough to explain the decision surface without inventing a result.
Choosing an opening line
The center pocket advertises the largest visible value, but a straight line to 250 is not automatically the safest choice. Check which numbered balls block the route and whether a lower-value side pocket offers a clean angle. A dotted guide helps with direction, yet it does not remove collision planning.
Treat bombs as a limited fallback. Five were visible at the start, but we did not activate one or measure how they affect balls and scoring.
Confirmed and unconfirmed
Confirmed: the three ball colors, numbered faces, pocket values, zero starting score, ×0 combo, five bombs and pointer-driven aiming. Unconfirmed: scoring rules, number interactions, combo growth, bomb effects and tournament progression.
This split keeps the guide tied to the actual session. It tells a first-time player what the table asks them to inspect while leaving later systems for a deeper run.
