I have heard in some aspects, Billiards is not considered a sport. In some other aspects how ever, Billiards is considered a sport not so much of the minimal physical requirements, but because of the mental concentration it takes to play. I never see any big stories or links about billiards mentioned on sports sites or anything like that. What is the deal?

NOEL P asked:

this is like the pool table but uses a chip and a round flat mother ball. They used to put a borax on the table to make it slipery so the chip will slide smoothly. Is there any instruction or a manufacturer to buy this kind of pool table.

What are the rules regarding calling your shots in billiards? Specifically, what is the penalty if you do not put the ball you name in the pocket you name?

Lauren asked:

I want to buy a slate pool table for my house. I live in a townhouse and its two levels. I want to put it on the second level. i was talking to a friend and he said that a pool table will a) wreck the floor (its carpeted) and b) be too heavy for the floor. I’m wondering if anyone has bought a pool table for their house and if there is any truth to what my friend told me. Or if anyone has any advice on pooltables in houses.
