Learn the movement.
Keep drinks off the playing table, leave the shooter room, and respect the cloth and rails. Do not sit on rails or use equipment to punctuate a disappointing shot.
Ask before picking up another person’s cue. Confirm ball in hand before moving the cue ball. If you disturb a ball, say so and resolve it under the agreed rules rather than secretly replacing it from memory.
One useful set.
- Setup & action
- Identify a safe place for your drink and cue before play.

- Leave space for other players and their equipment.
- Practice format
- Use the checklist or rehearse the conversation once before play.
