Scotch Doubles Definition (from Billiard's Forum)
Scotch Doubles is a type of doubles billiard play. In this version, each team member alternates shots during an inning. For example, if you are on a team with Jimmy, and you shoot and pocket a ball, your team's inning continues, but Jimmy takes the next shot. You can Jimmy continue to rotate shots until one player misses. At this point, your team'sinning ends, and the other team's inning begins. Effective and carefully honed communication skills will greatly benefit players in a scotch rotation of play. Intimate communication between each team member is paramount. As you can imagine, the team mate is justly concerned about the cue ball positioning that will result from your shot. As noted in the wikipedia entry for this term, the word "scotch" is generally not to be capitalized when used in this context.
