8-Ball

8-Ball is played all around the world and is a favourite in our clubs and likely what you have played if you've picked up a cue with friends before.

It is played with cues and 15 balls - seven striped balls, seven solid coloured, and one black 8 ball. The object of the game is to legally pocket the 8 ball after all the balls of the players’ assigned ball group have been cleared from the table.

 We offer two formats of the game following either WPA or VNEA rules. Members can play socially or competitively, and paid members can enter weekly tournaments and VNEA Junior and Senior 8 Ball Leagues. By competing in VNEA leagues, members have the chance to represent New Zealand at the annual VNEA World Pool Championships – learn more here.
