General Questions
First Checkbilliard takes you through a series of tests – systematically. This allows us to analyze your “game assets”, to evaluate your skills and identify any weaknesses in your game – if there are some.
For these weaknesses you will receive drills, exercises and workouts, each accompanied with HD-videos, to work on your deficits – all depending on your current abilities!

APP-Functions
The Checkbilliard system directs you to the tests correspond to your level of play.
To do this you first need to complete the QUICK 20. Depending on your results you either continue in the SHORT 50 or in the more difficult STRAIGHT 100.
The results from these tests bring you either into the MODERN 150 (for beginners to advanced), in the PROGRESSIVE 300 (for good and experienced players) or in the PROFESSIONAL 450 (for very good players up to absolute world class).
Checkbilliard means training guided by a SYSTEM! This system directs you to the tests corresponding to your level of play. Too easy tests wont improve your skills, too difficult tests would overburden you!
First you need to complete the “QUICK 20” test. Depending on your results you either continue in the SHORT 50 or in the more difficult STRAIGHT 100.
The results from these tests bring you into the MODERN 150 (for beginners to advanced), in the PROGRESSIVE 300 (for good and experienced players) or in the PROFESSIONAL 450 (for very good players up to world class players).
For absolute freaks: You can “unlock” two different tests in section No. 3 by doing the QUICK 20 once “good” and once “bad”.
This lets you do once the SHORT 50 and once the STRAIGHT 100 test. The results of these puts you in the Intensive tests in section 3with analysis and unlocks sometimes two tests.
See also “I have activated two tests in the Section3 instead of just one, why?” here in the FAQs.
That should not be. Have you already completed the first “Quick 20” test to be unlocked for further and guided tests?
Is your subscription and your payment confirmed by email? Yes? Then we are sorry and ask you to contact the support team.
If you play the QUICK 20 test twice and the result brings you once in the SHORT 50 and once in the STRAIGHT 100 this can happen.
From these two tests the Checkbilliard calculation brings you to the section 3. If you “just click through” the app then sometimes you can unlock 2 different tests in section 3.
But if you are honest to yourself with the results, always the right test will be unlocked for your level of play. Which one doesn’t over- or underwhelm you!
You’ll receive your personal analysis and training sessions based on just ONE test in section 3. Namely the last played one!
You don’t need to do! But we fundamentally differ between “test exercises” and “practice exercises”. Practice tasks you can always view and play.
Test exercises are blocked when a test is completed and the result was reported to the system for game-level analysis to create your personal training plans.
As long as a test is not completed you can also see and play ANY exercise several times. “Just Preview” means only that no result entry is possible.
YES! The Checkbilliard app fetches the exercises, analyses, calculations, etc. directly from the server.
Also, each exercise update will be available immediately on your device. And especially for the streamed videos it needs an internet connection, because the HD videos would not find place on your device due the data size .
Maybe the WI-FI router is blocking access. Then the administrator of the WI-FI network has blocked so-called ports in the firewall. Please make sure that port 3306 is not affected.
But mostly a misconfiguration of your local WI-FI happened – and two or more WI-FIs sharing the same channel.
Please check your WI-FI for a single used channel with this free tools:
for iPhone “iNetTools” on iTunes and
for Android “WIFI Analyzer” on Google Play Store.
NO! If you “mistype” you’ve to start the test from the beginning.
In the beta phase this was possible and the players have spent almost more time with editing of results than with the training itself.
Checkbilliard is not an online game!
That should not be. The Checkbilliard app has been tested on numerous devices.
With a double click you can enlarge the picture of each task. On most devices also works the “two-finger zoom”. This means that the numbers should be readable. And the colors of the balls can also be used for alignment.
At a sufficiently stable and fast Internet connection and a relatively current device it might not be!
The HD videos provide a large amount of data, if the connection is too slow for real-time streaming the video can be choppy.
(No, Videos are not available offline – collection is too big for your device!)
Not yet. In a future version there will be this option.
NO! See also “Do I really need an internet connection” in the FAQ.
NO!
In future versions Checkbilliard will considerif this will be possible. Attention is paid to the protection of the contents from unauthorized duplication.
Not at the moment. If the technical requirements are given by the manufacturer, there may be a Windows Mobile version.
Checkbilliard is NOT a video game! The images are the instructions for the exercises.
It is a system for training on real tables with real people – go out, meet friends, have fun and play pool!
NO!
