    The Georgia Games holds championships in 40+ sports for amateur athletes at all age levels. In the late 1980's, the state of Georgia and the city of Atlanta decided to bid upon the 1996 Olympics. A lack of education concerning the positive attributes of physical fitness and health existed in Georgia at that time. The Georgia Games Amateur Olympic Sports Festival was formed to assist in addressing this problem. Since 1990, the Georgia Games, a program of the Georgia Sports Foundation, has been educating Georgians about the benefits of physical fitness and sports.

About Billiards/Pool

Billiards/Pool, also referred to as a cue sport, are games where a wooden stick is used to knock balls into six pockets on a felt table top.

Billiards/Pool History

Cue sports evolved into indoor games from outdoor stick-and-ball games such as trucco, croquet, and golf in the 15th century. King Louis the XI of France (1461-1483) had the first indoor billiard table. Louis XI popularized the game among the French nobility. When Mary, Queen of Scots was executed, her body was covered by her billiards table's cloth. By 1727 billiards was being played in nearly every cafe in Paris. The sport then spread throughout Europe. Billiards is found mentioned numerous times in Shakespeare's plays. Famous billiard enthusiasts throughout history include Napoleon, Mozart, Abraham Lincoln, and Babe Ruth. Regulated international billiard competition began by 1893.

Billiards/Pool Tips

Before beginning your turn look over the entire table. Plan your run, determining which ball you will target after knocking in your first ball.

Patience is important. If you do not have a good shot, try to set one up for the next turn.

Go after the harder shots first then clear the isolated balls.
