RULES:

There are three balls used in English Billiards: white cue ball, yellow cue ball and a red ball. The two players lag for the break and choice of cue ball. Points can be scored in three ways: two for a cannon (hitting both of the other two balls in a single shot), pot (three for the red, two for the opposite cue ball) and in-offs (three if you hit the red first and two if you hit the opposite cue ball first). For any foul (or miss) two penalty points are awarded to the other player. When a player's cue ball is not on the table, they play from the 'D' and must hit a cushion or ball outside of the baulk area before their cue ball can enter the baulk area. When the red ball is potted, it's put on the black spot. If it's potted twice in a row (off the spot) it's then placed on the blue spot. After that it returns to the black spot.
