Straight Pool (14.1 continuous) is played with 15 balls and a cue ball. There are no set of balls, and each player can shoot at any ball on the table.
The goal is to be first to pocket 21 balls.
A player`s turn is over when they fail to pocket a ball or if they scratch.

Intragame racking
Because straight pool is played to a specific number of points normally far in excess of the 15 points available in the initial rack, multiple intragame racks are necessary.

Breaking
The break is made by Player. If a ball is pocketed on the break the player continues to shoot.

Shooting
A player is allowed to shoot at any ball on the table. A point is awarded for each ball legally pocketed. When one player reaches 21 points the game is over and that player is the winner.
