  Four ball - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There are two similar yet distinct carom billiard games known as 4-ball.
The shooter is penalized a point if he fails to carom on either red ball or if the shooter causes any ball to carom on his opponent's cue ball.
Thus, the shooter must avoid any carom of his opponent's ball while striving to carom on the two red object balls.

 Basics rules   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
All the carom disciplines share the objective of completing as many caroms as be possible in the minimum of intents.
In each alone segment n caroms are allowed before at least one of the contrary balls abandons him.
m characterizes the size of the rectangles (at the moment it is the distance of the lines until the cushion next measures in cm) and n the number of caroms allowed before moving a ball contrary to another rectangle.

 Billiards - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sometimes, however, "billiards" standing alone will refer in particular to carom games played on a pocketless table, as opposed to games played on tables with pockets, which may be referred to either as "pocket billiards" (or "pool"), as "snooker" or as "English billiards" (depending upon equipment size and rules).
The red balls are typically not numbered, though the six colored balls often are, and can easily be mistaken at first glace for pool balls (the design is similar, but the number does not match pool's scheme).
In the carom games such as straight billiards ("straight rail"), three-cushion billiards and balkline, as well as English billiards, there are two cue balls and a red ball.

 rules3
For example if a player strikes the one ball legally and then caroms or by combination pockets the nine ball which he has called in the pocket he has designated, that player wins the game.
When no ball is called or a safety is called and a ball is pocketed, or if called ball falls in the wrong pocket, the incoming player has the option of shooting or forcing his opponent to shoot again.
When calling the shot it is never necessary to indicate details such as: cushions, banks, kisses, caroms, etc. Unless obvious to both referee and/or opponent, the shooter must either declare a called shot, safety, or push.

Points are scored by pocketing a ball (based on the ball's number) or by making a carom (one point).
Points 90-100 must be scored by caroms only.
Pocketing the five ball is the fastest scoring method, so what I like to do is get straight in on the five ball for the side pocket and keep following it for a shot in the opposite side pocket.

By asking students to describe step-by- step instructions on how to play caroms, a popular board game that everyone in the class plays at lunchtime, the content of the writing assignment will not be problematic for the students.
Students may choose to write about caroms or about any other game/activity they would like, assuming they can explain to others how to participate in the activity.
Also, the use of the carom game in explaining sequencing will help their understanding since they will be able to bring in their prior knowledge.

 Newspaper does a story on my flick Kisses And Caroms - The Digital Video Information Network
Rocca said he wrote "Kisses and Caroms" with such practical concerns as commercial appeal and budget limitations in mind, but he also wanted to create what he says is a rarity in Hollywood — a "guy's romantic comedy."
This endeavor eventually yielded the funds for "Kisses and Caroms." In 2002, inspired by a two-day filmmaking seminar and armed with a copy of Final Draft screenwriting software, Rocca pounded out a script, He submitted the finished draft to "Project Greenlight," but didn't make it past the first round.
The budget for "Kisses and Caroms," which Rocca said began at less than $10,000, skyrocketed to just under $100,000, as the director invested in test screenings, purchased insurance for the film and applied for an official rating from the Motion Picture Association of America.

 Movie Review for Kisses and Caroms
Like those other under-funded independent, Kisses and Caroms is a movie made quickly (shot in five days I'm told), cheaply (no posh trailers for these stars), and definitely outside the studio system (unless you count Poverty Works as a studio).
Kisses and Caroms' script is mainly about relationships, with a few wacky gags mixed in to keep the mood light.
For a lot of people it's not natural to think outside the box where relationships are concerned, but the movie presents it in a way that's smart and silly all at once.
