The first one-pocket tournament was held in 1961, promoted by the Jansco brothers. If the player pockets an object ball in the opponent's pocket, their turn also ends and the opponent earns a point. If a player pockets an object ball in a pocket other than those at the top of the table, their turn ends and that object ball is respotted, unless an object ball is also potted into their designated pocket on the same shot. Three consecutive fouls is a loss of game. Penalties for a foul are the loss of 1 point, re- spotting a previously pocketed ball if possible, and in the case of a scratch, the incoming player gets ball-in-hand behind the baulk line. Unlike straight pool, however, a shooter does not need to call their shots. One-pocket is similar to straight pool in that a player can shoot at any object ball regardless of its color or number. The winner is the first to score an agreed-upon number of points (usually 8). A point is made when a player pockets any object ball into their designated pocket. The object of the game is to score points. Only one pocket for each player is used in this game, unlike other games played on a pool table where any pocket can be used to score object balls. The two top corner pockets, one for each player throughout an entire game.
