The game ‘’Saratoga’’ is a hybrid of 8-Ball and Rotation games like 9-Ball & 10-Ball. You have either solids OR stripes, but you must shoot them IN ORDER from lowest number to highest number, then pocket the Black Ball to Win.

Hit the lowest ball of your kind first (lowest of either one if open table)
