Object of Game
The game objective for TGPool is very simple. Score as many points as
possible by dropping balls into any pocket. The faster you clear the table the more
points you make.
Game Scoring
Points Scored
The number of points scored on a shot is determined by the number of balls pocketed
times the timer value. The timer does not start until the cue ball makes
contact with the first ball.
Every time a ball is pocketed, the timer is reset to full value. The
countdown begins again as soon as all balls from the previous shot come to
rest. Anytime you fail to pocket a ball, the timer continues thus
decreasing the number of points possible.
Points Deducted
Points are deducted anytime you scratch (pocket the cue ball). No points
are awarded for balls pocketed if a scratch occurs on that shot.
Shot Alignment Guide
Incorrect
Correct
The shot Alignment Guide shows you where the Cue ball will strike the object ball. When
the guide becomes brighter, it is touching the edge of the ball. The point at which the
guide and the ball are touching is the point where the cue ball will strike the object
ball.
Note: You can turn the display of the Power Bar off by pressing the SPACE bar on your
keyboard. This can make the Alignment Guide easier to see, especially if you are
using a very strong shot.
Bonus Points
Some tournaments offer Hot Ball and Hot Pocket bonuses. Tournaments with
these features will have + Bonus
in the Tournament List description. These features will appear randomly during
the game. The value of the bonus appears on the ball or pocket as a number that starts
at 1000 points and counts down.
Points for a Hot Ball are awarded when the ball is potted in any pocket. Points for
a Hot Pocket are awarded when any ball is potted in the Hot Pocket.
