Abstract

A billiard table has a playing area bordered by a cushion. The pockets found in a typical pool billiard table are replced by sensor fields disposed in the plane of the playing area having contactless sensors associated therewith responsive to the presence of a billiard ball. The output signals of the sensors are applied to a visual indicator.
