 Introduction
The study of the billiard map for a convex table T goes back to Birkhoff [2] and the theory is still far from being completed.
Bialy [1] showed that if the phase space of the billiard map is foliated by a continuous family of homotopically non-trivial invariant circles, then the billiard table is a disc.
While tables with exceptional caustics with rotation number 1/3 have been constructed in [14] and his construction probably generalizes to any possible rational number, it is not known whether a table exists which has two exceptional invariant caustics.

rotation is more like 9-ball, but using all 15 balls, and the winner isn't the one to sink the 15-all, but whoever gets more points..you have to contact the lowest number ball on the table.
Rotation requires that the cue ball contact the lowest numbered object ball first on each shot; any ball pocketed on a legal shot counts.
Rotation is a formidable test of a player's imagionation, shot-making ability and repertoire.

In the case of a foul, a ball from each of the opponents is spotted and an eliminated player(s) can return to their spot in the rotation.
