The Game of Freda
Seaforde Variant
As played at Seaforde House, Seaforde, Co Down on a
billiard table Generally, if a player loses a life, he/she must restart the game (not the next player in turn). If, however, the player has exhausted all his/her lives, the next in turn must restart. Seaforde Rule 4. The player must have
at least one foot placed on the ground whilst reaching
for or handling the white ball and that foot is not
allowed to move until the ball is released. It is,
however, permissible to rotate the foot to obtain a
better throwing position. If the player moves both feet
when reaching for or in contact with the white ball, that
player will lose a 'life'.The white ball may be handled
as often as necessary, but the player must be seen to try
to hit the red ball with the white ball. If the red ball
is missed, the player can move again. |
