A method of playing billiards, comprising:

• a. positioning numbered billiard balls in a predetermined pattern on a billiards table;
• b. placing a cue ball at any desired location on the billiards table;
• c. urging the cue ball to individually strike the numbered billiard balls in sequential numerical face value order at its position in the predetermined pattern;
• and
• d. recording a score on a scorecard having a grid comprising:
• a player name column, ten inning score columns, and a total score column, with at least two rows including a column label row and a fillable row;
• said score determined from the face value of each of the numbered billiard balls sunk in its adjacent billiards table pocket according to the predetermined pattern;
• wherein the predetermined pattern comprises placing a single billiard ball with a face value of “1” adjacent to a first billiards table pocket, a single billiard ball with a face value of “2” adjacent to a second billiards table pocket diagonally across the billiards table from the first billiards table pocket, a single billiard ball with a face value of “3” adjacent to a third billiards table pocket, a single billiard ball with a face value of “4” adjacent to a fourth billiards table pocket diagonally across the billiards table from the third billiards table pocket, a single billiard ball with a face value of “5” adjacent to a fifth billiards table pocket, and a single billiard ball with a face value of “6” adjacent to a sixth billiards table pocket directly opposite the fifth billiards table pocket, such that the billiard balls with the odd-numbered face values “1” and “3” are each positioned along a first end of the table, the billiard balls with the even-numbered face values “4” and “2” are each positioned along a second end of the table, and the billiard balls with the face values “6” and “5” are each positioned midway along a first longitudinal side and a second longitudinal side, respectively.
