Английская Википедия:Honolulu (pool)
Шаблон:Good article Шаблон:Use mdy dates Шаблон:Short description Honolulu, also known as banks, kisses, and combinations or indirect, is a pocket billiards game. Players must Шаблон:Cuegloss all shots in an indirect fashion to reach a set number of points. The game shares some similarities with other cue sports, played on tables and with balls used for pool, but differs with foul points being awarded for regular direct shots.
Rules
Honolulu is generally played between two competitors or teams. The game is played on a traditional pool table, with fifteen Шаблон:Cuegloss.[1] The object of the game is to score eight points by pocketing balls in a legitimate manner. What is and what is not considered legitimate is where the game diverges from more common pool game objectives. In Honolulu, Шаблон:Cuegloss a ball directly is a foul shot.[2] Points can, however, be scored by completing Шаблон:Cuegloss, Шаблон:Cuegloss, Шаблон:Cuegloss or Шаблон:Cuegloss.[3] In addition, players may not play Шаблон:Cuegloss kicks, or kick from cushions into adjacent pockets.[3][4][5]
Every shot must be Шаблон:Cuegloss.[2] Before a shot, players have to designate both the ball and target pocket.[6] Players may elect to Шаблон:Cuegloss more than one ball on a single shot, but all balls called must be correctly potted, or there is no score.[3][7][5] At the start of a game, the balls are racked on a pool table's Шаблон:Cuegloss, with a set of fifteen balls, placed in random order, and a cue ball. On the opening Шаблон:Cuegloss, the player must either call a ball out of the rack and an intended pocket, or cause two object balls and the cue ball to strike a rail. The failure to do so is a foul.[3] Unlike other games of pool, there is no concession of a game after conceding three successive fouls.[1]
As in the similar game of one-pocket, the penalty for all fouls in Honolulu is the loss of a point, meaning one previously pocketed ball must be returned to the table's surface. Such Шаблон:Cuegloss balls are placed on the table as close as possible to the foot spot, and as close as possible to any balls already occupying that space in the direction of the Шаблон:Cuegloss. If a player has no balls to spot, the penalty is owed, and at the end of the player's next scoring Шаблон:Cuegloss, the requisite number of balls owed are replaced.[3][5][8]
According to the Billiard Congress of America, the governing body for billiards in the United States, Honolulu presents players with "an unending kaleidoscope of strategic and shot-making challenges."[3]
