what will happen or is happening. From the game of billiards, a game played with a leather-tipped stick and various numbers of balls on an oblong, cloth-covered table with raised, cushioned edges. The player is required to call the ball he intends to pocket (knock into one of the pockets or pouches at the sides and corners of a billiard table), and the pocket into which he intends to make his play. —Class VIII №8, Approved November 1990
