There sure are many people in Australia shooting a game of pool! There are three ways of scoring: (1) the losing hazard, or loser, is a stroke in which the striker’s cue ball is pocketed after contact with another ball; (2) the winning hazard, or pot, is a stroke in which a ball other than the striker’s cue ball is pocketed after contact with another ball; (3) the cannon, or carom, is a scoring sequence in which the striker’s cue ball contacts the two other balls successively or simultaneously. It transfers some of its kinetic energy to the cue ball, which rolls forward. If the cue ball contacts an already pocketed ball, the cue ball will be considered pocketed whether it rebounds from the pocket or not.

A ball touching a rail at the start of a shot (said to be "frozen" to the rail) is not considered driven to that rail unless it leaves the rail and returns.
