To position your shots, do the following: - Position each shot using your mouse, moving it around the cue ball (the white ball) - Press and hold the space bar if you want to lock in your shot position - Click and hold the left-click mouse button and drag the mouse/stick away from the cue ball - Watch the power meter for force when you drag the stick. The higher the power meter, the more force used to hit the cue ball - Release the left-click button to shoot

Scoring
The score for each shot is computed as follows: Run Bonus + Rack Bonus + Speed Bonus Run Bonus ? When players pocket balls, they receive a points based on the number of balls pocketed sequentially. That is, players score more Run Bonus points when they pocket multiple balls simultaneously or sequentially (i.e. without missing a shot in between). The Run Bonus works as follows: 1 Ball - 100 Points
2 Balls - 200 Points
3 Balls - 300 Points
4Balls - 400 Points
And so on...

Rack Bonus ? Players receive a Rack Bonus for each rack cleared. The first rack, the rack you receive when the game begins, gives you a 100 Point Rack Bonus for each shot made. Each time you clear a rack (i.e. clear all 9 balls on the table), you receive another rack of balls to clear. The Rack Bonus amounts are as follows:

1st Rack - 100 Points
2nd Rack - 200 Points
3rd Rack - 300 Points
4th Rack - 400 Points
And so on...

Speed Bonus ? For each shot, you can receive a speed bonus for pocketing balls. If you pocket a ball within the following time frames, the Time Bonus is as follows: 0 Second - 100 Points
1 Second - 90 Points
2 Seconds - 80 Points
3 Seconds - 70 Points
4 Seconds - 60 Points
5 Seconds - 50 Points
And so on...

Bonus starts at 100 points and decreases by 10 points every second. For example, if you pocket a ball in five (5) seconds, then your Shot Bonus will be 50 points. Players lose points for scratches (i.e. when the cue ball/white ball is pocketed).
