description Rotation 61 Overview
Rotation 61 is a pocket-billiards game in which the object balls are played in numerical order, beginning with the lowest-numbered ball on the table. A legally pocketed ball scores its face value, so the 15 balls together represent 120 points, and the winner is normally the first player to reach at least 61 points. The game is also called 61 or 61-pool and is a scoring variant of rotation pool for players who must combine ordered play with position control.
