Find, connect with, and challenge One Pocket players near you. 8nOut is the map of the One Pocket community. See which players and pool clubs are around you, connect with the players you want to meet, and arrange a game at a club or a private table — all in one place. THE MAP Every pool club submitted by our players across Europe shows as a pin — tap one to see who plays there and navigate straight to the door. Players who are open to play are marked, so you know who's ready right now. Filter the map by country, by city, or to just the players who are open to play — and search for anyone by name. CONNECT FIRST 8nOut works like real pool-hall etiquette: you introduce yourself before you ask for a game. Send a connection request — or share your personal invite link to bring a friend straight in, already connected. Once you're connected you can invite each other to play and chat right in the app. No connection, no contact. Strangers can never message you or see anything you haven't made public. SHOUT-OUTS & BROADCASTS Free right now? Send a Shout-Out and reach every nearby player, connected or not. Planning a trip? Send a Broadcast for the city you're heading to — today, or in the weeks ahead. Interested players connect to reply, same as everywhere else in 8nOut — and you pick who you play. You're just as invisible to them, too, until you connect back. ARRANGE THE GAME Invite a connection to play: propose a day or two, a time, and a place. They can accept a slot or suggest another, until you settle on one. Add the confirmed game to your calendar in a tap — and afterwards log the result to build up your win–loss record. YOUR GAME, YOUR PROFILE Link your CueScore profile to bring your name and photo across, so other players recognise the real you — and unlink again whenever you like. Add your Fargo Rating so opponents know what kind of game to expect, with a FairMatch link for anyone who wants to verify. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Home-table addresses are never public — they're only revealed to a player you've explicitly accepted, and you can see and revoke who has access at any time. Your phone number is visible only to accepted connections, never on your public profile. No ads, no tracking, no analytics. ON EVERY DEVICE Use 8nOut on iPhone or in your browser — same map, same community, one account. Sign in with Apple or Google. FOR THE COMMUNITY One Pocket is a small world spread across a big continent. 8nOut exists so that a travelling player always knows where the game is — and so the game finds new players. It's built by a One Pocket player, for One Pocket players. CueScore and Fargo Rating are optional integrations; CueScore is a registered trademark of its owner and FargoRate of its owner — 8nOut is an independent community app.
