General - Pool Rules Mounted Plaque

The Eight-Ball Poster is a big beautiful work of educational art. The painting ”Who’s Next”, by artist Robert Butters, depicts a turn-of-the-century billiard parlor, when billiards was universally known as a ”gentleman’s game”. A portrait of Mark Twain, the era’s most enthusiastic player, observes the game from the wall. But it is much more than just a painting. The poster explains common billiard terms and the game of Eight-Ball and why there are so many variations in the rules. It fully details the ”official” Billiard Congress of America tournament rules as well as the most common ”house rules” and explains how they differ from each other. To top it off, the poster leaves plenty of space for the house to write its own rules. This beautiful piece of educational art will tastefully decorate any room and stop disputes over the rules before they ever begin. Plaque mounted and ready to hang. Size: 24” W x 36” H
