It's pretty much like 8-ball but with red and orange balls instead of solids and stripes. I think the rules might be a little different than the "World standardized rules", but didn't have enough time to make sure. I'm also interested on how to handicap this game (or 9-ball), didn't find anything on a quick google.
And here's the rules for english pool
