Carom Billiards 1 story

Carom Billiards is the broad pocketless-table branch of billiards in which scoring is based on cue-ball contact with object balls rather than pocketing. The category can cover three-ball play, carom scoring, object-ball control, position play and cushion systems, while also providing context for related disciplines such as straight rail, balkline and three-cushion billiards.

As an umbrella within Cue Sports, it should stay broader than any one carom variant but narrower than billiards as a whole. Technique, rules and competition coverage belong here when the central subject is carom play across pocketless formats.
