Rules: Eight-Ball (Oakhouse Version)

Winning Condition:
Each team aims to pocket all of their assigned balls (solid or striped).
If the game does not finish within 10 minutes, the team that has pocketed the most balls wins.

Ball Setup: 14 balls (excluding the 8-ball)
Teams: Divided into solids and stripes

Solids: Balls numbered 1–7, single-color design
Stripes: Balls numbered 9–15, white with colored stripes

Scoring Rules:
If a striped ball team pockets a solid ball, the point goes to the solid ball team (and vice versa).
Pocketed balls are not returned to play.

Break: Decided by rock-paper-scissors. No restrictions on break shots.
Fouls: Missing the shot or pocketing the cue ball.
Turn Rotation: Players switch turns after each shot.
Team Size: 1 or 2 players per team.

Gameplay:
- Sitting shots allowed.
- Support tools allowed.
- Double hits allowed.
- Hitting the opponent’s ball first is not a foul.
- Accidental hand contact does not stop play.

Time Limit: 10 minutes per match. The team with the most pocketed balls at the end wins.
