Pour rendre le jeu plus difficile(au billard sans blouse, on) a aussi introduit le billard au cadre; à ce jeu quatre lignes sont tracées sur le drap, chacune parallèle et à une égale distance de chaque bande. Au 14. 1 ou 14. 2 cette distance est de 14 po(35, 5 cm). Au 18. 1 et au 18. 2(en France, c'est le 47. 1 et le 47. 2), elle est de 18 pouces(47 cm). Ces lignes divisent la table en neuf zones. La zone centrale est une zone libre en ce sens qu'on peut y jouer un nombre illimité de carambolages successifs. Dans les huit autres cadres, le joueur ne peut réussir qu'un nombre limité de carambolages et il doit ensuite faire en sorte que les billes changent de zone. 1, record 3, French, - billard%20au%20cadre
