description Balkline 47.2 Overview
Balkline 47.2 is a carom billiards discipline played on a pocketless table divided by straight lines drawn 47 centimeters from each rail, creating eight rectangular balk spaces. The rules stipulate that at least one object ball must exit the current balk space after two consecutive caroms, preventing players from running points in a single area indefinitely. The discipline was a major championship sport in the early 20th century before three-cushion billiards overtook it as the dominant carom format.
