Take Measurements of All Areas

The size of a pool table is important not only for size but the style of play you enjoy.

Measurements to take, include pocket openings, playing bed cushion height - from floor/ground up, without breaking them. All of this information is important because it'll help you make sure the pool table you have chosen, fits in the room.

Billiard Congress of America's Pool Table Regulations

The Billiard Congress of America has rules, regulations, and specifications for the size pool table that will qualify for competitions.

 If your table will be used for something other than recreational home use, it's important to learn about the specifications the BCA has set in place. Especially since there's not much difference between recreational home use tables!
