Basic Rules for Playing “Conquer The Cross”

  1.  Conquer the Cross is played by one person at a time, although an unlimited number of challengers can play sequentially against each other.
  2. A minimum of one ball must be pocketed during each shot, although multiple pocketed balls are allowed if possible (i.e., the game will always last 15 shots, or less).
  3. If any shot results in a missed shot or un-pocketed ball, the game is over and must be reset for a new player to begin.
  4. If the cue ball scratches at any time, the game is over and must be reset for a new player to begin.

Full Rules for “Conquer The Cross”

1. In Step 1 of “Conquer The Cross” Gameplay begins with the player placing the cue ball anywhere on the pool table, and shooting any of the six perimeter balls.

2. At no time during Step 1 can the cue ball strike, bump, jump, or touch in any way, the Cross-racked balls positioned in the table center. If the Cross is touched by the cue ball (or any other ball) during Step 1, the game is over and must be reset for a new player to begin.

3. Immediately after the first shot, the player’s opponent selects the most difficult remaining shots until the six perimeter balls have been pocketed.

4. The player must eliminate all six perimeter balls in their intended/designated pockets.

5. When all six perimeter balls are pocketed with the center Cross still intact, Step 2 begins.

6. If at any time a shot concludes without the intended ball being pocketed in its designated pocket, the player violates Rules of Play – Rule 2; the game is over and must be reset for a new player to begin.

7. NOTE: Immediately after sinking the last perimeter ball, if the cue ball continues movement and contacts the cross in any way, the player violates Step 1 – Rule 2; the game is over and must be reset for a new player to begin.

1. In Step 2 of “Conquer The Cross”, the player calculates their best shot and “Breaks the Cross”.

2. Based on the position of the Cross and simple physics, either of the two outermost ball should be pocketed during the initial breaking of the Cross.

3. If no balls are pocketed during the breaking of the Cross, the player violates Rules of Play – Rule 2; the game is over and must be reset for a new player to begin.

 1. In Step 3 of “Conquer The Cross”, Once the Cross has been successfully broken (i.e., a ball has been pocketed in the process), the player is now allowed to shoot any ball of their choice and play continues as longs as a ball is pocketed on each shot.

2. If no balls are pocketed during any shot, the player violates Rules of Play – Rule 2; the game is over and must be reset for a new player to begin.

3. A scratch on the final shot violates Rule 3; the game is over and must be reset for a new player to begin.

4. The Cross is finally conquered only when all object balls have been eliminated in succession without missing any shots in the process. The player that accomplishes this feat earns the title of “Champion”.
