Assembly Tips
Make sure you understand the following tips before you begin to assemble your soccer table.
1. When installing parts that have more than one bolt, start ALL the bolts in that part by
hand before tightening anything.
2. Some drawings or images in this manual may not look exactly like your product. Please
read and understand the text before starting each assembly step.
1. Find a clean, level place to begin the assembly of your pool table. We
recommend building the table on the box top to protect the parts during
assembly.
2. Place main cabinet P1 upside down as shown in FIGURE 1.
3. Locate the two factory installed leg assemblies as shown in FIGURE 1.
6. Screw one leg leveler H2 into the bottom of each leg as shown in FIGURE 4.
7. Slide the spreader between the leg panels as shown in FIGURE 4. Lock the
spreader to the panel by placing the tabs from the spreader bracket into the
slots on the leg panel bracket as shown in FIGURE 4.
Once you have your table turned over and placed where you want it in your
Game Room, use a standard 3 to 4 foot level (Not included) to level the playing
surface of your table. Place the level in several locations on the playfield and
adjust where needed by turning the leg levelers on the bottom of each leg.

Eight-Ball is a call shot game played with a cue ball and 15 object balls, numbered 1 through 15.
One player must pocket balls of the group numbered 1 through 7 (
player has 9 through 15 (
stripes
). The player pocketing either group first, and then legally
pocketing the 8-ball wins the game.
CALL SHOT In Call Shot, obvious balls and pockets do not have to be indicated. It
is the opponent’s right to ask which ball and pocket if he is unsure of the shot. Bank shots and
combination shots are not considered obvious, and care should be taken in calling both the object
ball and the intended pocket. When calling the shot, it is never necessary to indicate details such
as the number of cushions, banks, kisses, caroms, etc. Any balls pocketed on a foul remain pocketed, regardless of whether they belong to the shooter or the opponent. The opening break is not
a” called shot.” Any player performing a break shot in 8-Ball may continue to shoot so long as any
object ball is legally pocketed on the break.

RACKING THE BALLS
The balls are racked in a triangle at the foot of the table with the 8-ball in the center of the triangle,
the first ball of the rack on the foot spot, a stripe ball in one corner of the rack and a solid ball in
the other corner.
AL TERNATING BREAK
Winner of the lag has the option to break. During individual competition, players will alternate
breaking on each subsequent game.
JUMP AND MASSE SHOT FOUL
While “cue ball fouls only” is the rule of play when a match is not presided over by a referee, a
player should be aware that it will be considered a cue ball foul if during an attempt to jump, curve
or masse the cue ball over or around an impeding numbered ball that is not a legal object ball, the
impeding ball moves

LEGAL BREAK SHOT
(Defined)
To execute a legal break, the breaker
(with the cue ball behind the head string)
must either
(1) pocket a ball, or (2) drive at least four numbered balls to the rail. When the breaker fails to make
a legal break, it is a foul, and the incoming player has the option of (1) accepting the table in position
and shooting, or (2) having the balls re-racked and having the option of shooting the opening break
or allowing the offending player to re-break.
If a player scratches on a legal break shot, (1) all balls pocketed remain pocketed

Please Note: The incoming player has cue ball in hand behind the head string and may not shoot
an object ball that is behind the head string, unless he first shoots the cue ball past the head string
and causes the cue ball to come back behind the head string and hit the object ball.
OBJECT BALLS JUMPED OFF TABLE ON THE BREAK
If a player jumps an object ball off the table on the break shot, it is a foul and the incoming player
has the option of (1) accepting the table in position and shooting, or (2) taking cue ball in hand
behind the head string and shooting.
8-BALL POCKETED ON THE BREAK
If the 8-ball is pocketed on the break, breaker may ask for a re-rack or have the 8-ball spotted and
continue shooting. If the breaker scratches while pocketing the - ball on the break, the incoming
player has the option of a re-rack or having the 8-ball spotted and begin shooting with ball in hand
behind the head string.
OPEN TABLE
(Defined)
The table is “open” when the choice of groups
(stripes or solids)
has not yet been determined. When the table is open, it is legal to hit a solid first to make a stripe or vice-versa. Note:
The table is always open immediately after the break shot. When the table is open it is legal to hit
any solid or stripe or the 8-ball first in the process of pocketing the called stripe or solid. However,
when the table is open and the 8-ball is the first ball contacted, no stripe or solid may be scored in
favor of the shooter. The shooter loses his turn; any balls pocketed remain pocketed; and the incoming player addresses the balls with the table still open. On an open table, all illegally pocketed
balls remain pocketed.
CHOICE OF GROUP
The choice of stripes or solids is not determined on the break even if balls are made from only one
or both groups, because the table is always open immediately after the break shot. The choice of
group is determined only when a player legally pockets a called object ball after the break shot.
LEGAL SHOT
(Defined)
On all shots
(except on the break and when the table is open)
, the shooter must hit one of
his group of balls first and (1) pocket a numbered ball, or (2) cause the cue ball or any numbered
ball to contact a rail. Please Note: It is permissible for the shooter to bank the cue ball off a rail
before contacting the object ball; however, after contact with the object ball, an object ball must be
pocketed, or the cue ball or any numbered ball must contact a rail. Failure to meet these requirements is a foul.
“SAFETY” SHOT
For tactical reasons, a player may choose to pocket an obvious object ball and also discontinue a
turn at the table by declaring “safety” in advance. A safety shot is defined as a legal shot. If the
shooting player intends to play safe by pocketing an obvious object ball, then prior to the shot, the
shooter must declare a “safety” to the opponent. If this is not done, and one of the shooter’s object
balls is pocketed, the shooter will be required to shoot again. Any ball pocketed on a safety shot
remains pocketed.
