Welcome to the billiard, pool, and snooker glossary of terms. This is the definition of Crotch as it relates to cue sports. You can also view the entire billiard dictionary.
In billiards, the crotch is the actual corner which is defined by the rails on a carom billiard table. The actual boundaries of each of the four crotch areas are defined and measured by drawing a line from the first diamond on the end rail through to the second diamond on the long rail. The crotch is an area in which only three counts can be performed whilst both object balls are inside the boundaries of the crotch before the shooting player must drive one ball out of the crotch. It is believed that the crotch was instituted so that long scoring runs would not occur.
You've made three counts, so now you must shoot away from the crotch.
