Multiplayer Pool:

The object of multiplayer 8-Ball is to pot either all the solid coloured group of balls (numbered 1-7), or all the striped balls (numbered 9-15), and then pot the black 8-Ball into a nominated pocket.

The player to shoot first is decided at random. The choice of which group to go for (solids or stripes) is determined by the first potted ball of the game. Next to each player's name is an indicator that shows which group is being played.

An empty 'O' indicates that the table is 'open' - no group has been determined yet. If a ball from each group is potted, then the table remains open until only a ball from one group is potted. Potting the black on the 'break' counts as an immediate win.

Once a player has cleared all the balls from their group, they must nominate a pocket in which they will attempt to pot the black 8-Ball. When the black has been potted, legally or illegally at any point, the round is over. If a player resigns or times out at any point then they lose the entire match.

Fouls

If a player commits a foul, their opponent will have 'ball-in-hand'. This means they can place the white cue ball anywhere on the table (unless the foul was committed on the break, in which case they are restricted to the top end of the table).
