POOL_CHECKERS_RULESconstant

Pool checkers, from the American Pool Checker Association's Tournament Rules of Play (2016): men take both ways (rule 14), kings fly (15, 18), any capture may be chosen — "not compelled to take the greater or lesser number" (20) — and a capture once begun is completed (21). A man that must jump on out of the king row stays a man, and one whose move ends there is crowned (22, 23). Black moves first (7).

The one count of the APCA's this site can read is the thirteen count (27): three kings against a lone king, all four kings, drawn once the lone king has made thirteen moves. Counted here as thirteen moves each, which is that exactly when the lone king moves second in the ending and one move later for the stronger side when it moves first — the generous side. There is no repetition rule: the APCA has none outside its thirty-move rule.

NOT APPLIED: the thirty-move rule (26), which the weaker side announces and counts, in endgames the players themselves identify. Nobody announces anything here, and a count that fired unasked would be a different rule. Nor the five-move count for a lone king on the long line (28), as above. A game going nowhere is ended instead by the site's own forty-move count in rules/noProgress.ts, the same as Checkers', and the rules page says so.
