description Balkline 47.1 Overview
Balkline 47.1 is a pocketless carom-billiards discipline played on a table marked with lines 47 centimeters from the cushions. The lines divide the playing surface into nine cadres, with small anchor spaces at the rail intersections. The “1” rule limits scoring when both object balls remain in the same cadre: after a scoring carom, at least one object ball must leave that cadre.

The number refers to lines marked 47 centimeters from each cushion on a pocketless carom-billiards table. These lines divide the playing surface into nine scoring zones called cadres.

Does Balkline 47.1 use pockets?

How many areas does the 47.1 table marking create?
The 47-centimeter lines divide the table into nine cadres. Small anchor spaces at the rail intersections add another positional restriction to the game.
