Two new games join the lineup: K-Ball and Rotation, each with a full rules breakdown. We also went through every ruleset in the app — Eight Ball, Nine Ball, Ten Ball, One Pocket, Bank Pool, and 14.1 Continuous — to double-check accuracy against the official WPA, CSI, and APA rulebooks, tighten up the wording, and make it easier to compare how organizations differ. Spanish and Portuguese translations have been refreshed throughout the app to match. Thanks for using Pool Rules — let us know what you'd like to see next!
