What are rack of balls?

A rack of balls is like a special toy box that holds all your game pieces before you start playing.

Imagine you're setting up for a fun game with marbles or little round stones, instead of scattering them everywhere, you put them in a neat row inside a triangle-shaped container. That’s the rack! It helps keep everything organized so you can easily grab and roll the balls when it's time to play.

The rack has pockets or slots where each ball sits tightly together. When you're ready to begin, you gently tip the rack, and whoosh, all the balls come rolling out in a line, just like when you dump all your toy blocks at once!

This is especially useful in games like billiards, where players use a cue stick to hit the balls. The rack makes it easy to start each round with all the balls neatly arranged.

So next time you see a triangle full of balls before a game, remember, that’s just a rack of balls, helping everyone play fair and fun!
