At last year’s world championship in the free pyramid in Tyumen, Turkmen billiards became the main sensation of the tournament and were among the ten best billiard players in the world.
Championship will last until March 2nd.
The main thing in the combined pyramid, which is one of the varieties of the game of Russian billiards, is to score eight points before your opponent. For each ball correctly pocketed, a player is awarded one point. It uses a standard set of sixteen billiard balls.
