# About Pool.bz

What Pool.bz is, how the game and the diagram desk work, and what happened to older diagram links.

Revised: 2 November 2026. Original: https://pool.bz/about/

## Play and model

The game uses its own house rules and an approximate two-dimensional simulation. Check the rules on the game page before breaking. It is not a tournament referee or a replica of any particular physical table.

## Save a position

The diagram desk builds a new layout from balls and lines. Its share link stores that layout in the part of the URL after the #, so nothing is saved on a server. It also exports a drawing as SVG. Anyone with a shared link can see the diagram; there are no accounts.

## Older links

A link to an earlier diagram tool is not a saved game in the current format. The known old addresses explain what happened to the layout and offer a blank diagram instead. This edition uses original code and artwork.
