How RDS works

Progressive practice

  1. Break the rack for your current level.
  2. Take cue ball in hand after the break unless the level says otherwise.
  3. Record whether you completed the required run without a miss or foul.
  4. After three racks: move up for 2–3 clears, stay for 1, or move down for 0.

RDS 100

Start at 100, skip optional Level 1, and play one rack at Levels 2–16. After a miss or foul, subtract the required balls left on the table. Rotation portions use rotation rules; other levels are call pocket.
