Welcome to the billiard, pool, and snooker glossary of terms. This is the definition of Out Of Play as it relates to cue sports. You can also view the entire billiard dictionary.
Balls that are out of play are balls that are not readily accessible for making in either player's scoring pocket. A ball may be out of play because they lie above the head string, or partially in one of the four non-scoring pockets, or because they are tied up in a cluster preferably still behind the head string. Obviously there are degrees of out of play, and with a big lead in the count, the more out of play the better.
Thats out of play, so you might as well forget about it.
