# 8 Ball Pro Online > 8-Ball Pro Online is a 3D billiards simulation that offers multiple game modes including 8 Ball, 9 Ball, 15 Ball and Snooker. Players aim their shots, apply power and spin to the cue ball and clear their own group of balls before pocketing the 8-ball. The game provides the tools necessary to deliver a realistic billiards experience including cue ball control, spin and elevated cue shots. Players can compete against the computer, a friend or other players online. Against the Computer If you want to play a real game but don't have anyone to play with, the AI provides you with three opponents, each with their own style. Charlie is the friendliest of the three. He plays for fun, takes whatever shot looks easiest, and forgives a lot of small mistakes. Beating him is mostly a matter of showing up. Vera is sharper. She picks her shots carefully, keeps the cue ball in sensible places, and will play a solid safety if she doesn't see a clean pot. You'll need to think about position to stay ahead of her. Silas is calculated and a bit smug. He plans every shot, lines up combinations and breakouts, and his safety play is genuinely reliable, so don't expect him to hand you the table by fouling out of a tight spot. He still isn't unbeatable. He can misjudge a long thin cut, and a difficult layout will rattle even him. Play a disciplined and solid game, and even Silas can be beaten. Play sloppily, and the table will clear before your turn. Practice Improve your aim, spin, power control, and cue ball position with practice mode. Position training places you in a random mid-game setup and requires you to pocket a specific ball, then position the cue ball in a specific area for the next shot. This is the skill that separates good players from great ones. Stuck-ball training flattens the ball against the rail and challenges you to figure out how to pocket it; one of the most difficult shots in billiards. Both modes optionally generate new challenges, show you where to aim if you want a hint, and let you repeat as many times as you like. No opponents, no time limit; just you and the table. Local Multiplayer Grab a friend and play on the same device, taking turns shooting on the same table. It's the same game you'd play on a real table, only on your screen. Play three matches or play all night long. The best way to have fun with your friends on your computer. Online Multiplayer Play against real opponents online. The lobby shows open tables in separate rooms for 8-ball, 9-ball, and 15-ball. Sit down at a table, wait for another player to join, and send a challenge. Once accepted, the match starts immediately. Spectators can watch any active game; if you're watching a table, you can request to join a player's side during the match. When the game is over, you can play again by clicking the “Play Again” option without returning to the lobby, or you can exit and find a new opponent. Tournaments Join elimination system tournaments directly from the lobby and advance as you win rounds. When a tournament opens, sign up and wait for the tables to fill. When it starts, the game matches you with an opponent and your match begins. If you win, you advance; if you lose, you are eliminated. Tournaments can be played in all three game types and support teams. In the special tournament room, special events are organized with their own registration and schedule. Note: Tournament mode is only available to players who have purchased the Pool Pass. Friends and Chat Add other players as friends and see who is online. Send private messages with pop-up chat windows; these windows remain open during the lobby or match. The lobby has its own general chat; in-game chat allows you and your opponent to talk between shots; spectators can join the chat. An emoji selector is also available when words aren't enough. Leaderboard and Replays Every online match contributes to your ranking. The leaderboard has two tabs: active lobby players and global points ranking. Click on any name to open their profile and see information such as win rate, total number of matches, country, and recent games. From the profile, you can rewatch a past match, pause it using playback controls, fast-forward/rewind, and adjust the speed. This is useful for analyzing how the match unfolded or rewatching a past game. This is the LLM-readable summary for the 8 Ball Pro Online game hub on OctoScout.
