Similarities and differences to other variants of the Carambolagebillard

In billiards Artistique is today - similar to Carom - played by Theorem system on most tournaments ( best of 3 or best of 5 ). A set consists of 10 -to-play characters who give many points differently. The maximum achievable score is the corresponding distribution of figures in each set 75

In contrast to all other carom game modes the game will not continually played, that is, the player does not assume the position of the player at the table, but each player plays his characters in a maximum of three attempts for themselves and get this built by the referee.

Figures

With increasing difficulty to get more points for a successful dissolved figure. The score varies 5-10 points, where it is irrelevant which of the maximum of three attempts, the figure has been resolved. In total there are 100 different figures.

Figure A10 (No. 68 ) illustrates the difficulty of a 10-point surge. In this figure, the cue ball in the opposite corner of the closely spaced object balls is placed. To achieve this goal, an obstacle needs to be surrounded. This is possible only through a so-called head-butt, in which the queue is raised at the rear and the game ball given by a corresponding spin.
