Carpetball Fun
Carpetball is a
simple game of skill played on a
carpetball table. A carpetball table is
a carpet lined trough
with a small pit at each end. Most carpetball tables are about 12' long,
2' wide, and 3' off the ground.
Each player sets up 5 pool balls on their own end of the carpetball table to start a carpetball game. Players take turns tossing a cue ball down the table attempting to knock their opponent's balls in to the pit. A carpetball game is won by being the first to knock all of your opponent's balls in to the pit.
