Supplemental Rules
USE OF EQUIPMENTPlayers may not use equipment or accessories for purposes (or in a manner) other than those for which the items were intended. No more than two mechanical bridges may be used at one time. The following is a list of acceptable equipment items a player may bring to the table to use in a World Pool-
(b) Chalk - The player may apply chalk to his tip to prevent miscues, and may use his own chalk, provided its color is compatible with the cloth.
(c) Talcum Powder
(d) Mechanical Bridges - The player may use up to two mechanical bridges to support the cue stick during the shot.
(e) Gloves - The player may use gloves to improve the grip and/or bridge hand function. CUE BALL FOULS ONLYIt is a foul for a player to touch any ball with the cue, their clothing, body, mechanical bridge or chalk, before, during or after a shot. However, when a referee is not presiding over a game, it is not a foul to accidentally touch stationary balls located between the cue ball and the shooter while in the act of shooting. If such an accident occurs, the player should restore the object balls to their correct positions. CALLING SHOTSA player may shoot any ball he chooses, but before he shoots, must designate the called ball and called pocket. He/she does not have to indicate any detail such as kisses, caroms, combinations, or cushions (all of which are legal).
