I think that bringing Bumper Pool to trugamer, would be a great idea Very Happy

. Bumper Pool is a little different than the other pool games, it is played on a diamoned shaped table. And doesn't have a cueball.A bumper pool table is different from a standard pool table in that a bumper pool table only has two pockets whereas the standard pool table has six pockets. Furthermore, a bumper pool table contains 12 bumpers, two each that sit beside the hole at the far end of each side of the table, while the remaining 8 bumpers are situated around the middle of the table. These bumpers are used by players trying to bank their ball into the opponents hole.While the standard pool game has 15 balls in solid and stripe form, in bumper pool each player has five balls -- red versus white.
To begin play in bumper pool, each player lines up their five balls at opposite ends of the table. Each player will have one ball with a dot on it. This ball will be placed just in front of the pocket and must be shot, using a cue stick, into the opponent's pocket before a player can shoot at any of the other balls. The goal of bumper pool is to be the first player to shoot his five balls into the opponent's hole. This game is usually played one on one or by teams of two. At the start of the game, both players will shoot the dotted ball at the same time, banking it off the side rail toward the opponent's hole. The player who sinks the ball continues to shoot. If no ball falls into the hole off the first shot, the player with a ball closest to the opponent's hole shoots again.

I like the idea of bumper pool a bit, but as far as i know it is a game thats pretty much only played in America, and it would be difficult to make it a serious game.
