The winner of the toss may place the cueball (white) anywhere with the 'D' at the bottom ('baulk') end of the table. Who takes the first shot (or 'breaks') is decided by the toss of the coin.
The 15 reds are initially arranged in a triangular 'pack' and each colour is positioned on its own special 'home' spot. One white cue ball, 15 red balls worth one point each, and six balls of different colours yellow (2 points), green (3), brown (4), blue (5), pink (6) and black (7) are used.
