Combination of 8 ball pool and Power Snooker. Game is played for a certain amount of time, total points of each player are calculated to decide winner


Rack
It is setup like so:

We start with a 9 ball rack and surround it with the other stripes as shown above.


Break
Power snooker break rules. At least 2 solids have to hit the cushion for turn to continue, Ball potting isn’t compulsory on break


Points
Every solid is worth 5 points
Every stripe is worth the number on the ball
9 ball is the Bat Ball. It is worth 9 points
Every ball made in the same turn as the Bat Ball is worth double its initial points
If the table is cleared in the same turn as the Bat Ball, you get an additional 100 points
Fouls award 10 points to your opponent


Gameplay
On all shots after break, it is necessary to pot a legal ball in order to continue your turn
Just like the colors in snooker, the stripes in BatPool have to be called (balls not pockets)
In case of a scratch or foul, the cue ball is in hand and all shots on the table are open
Fouls
Snooker fouls apply
