Australian Eight Ball Federation Explained

The Australian Eight Ball Federation (or Eight Ball Federation Incorporated), formed in 1983^[1] is the governing body in Australia for the sport of eight-ball pool, a cue sport also standardised under the name blackball, and distinct from the American-style game of eight-ball, itself subject to international competition.
