Today, regulation pool tables are both 9 ft by 4.5 ft, the original regulation size, but also includes 8 ft by 4 ft.

* Correction - As of 2008, BCA identifies 3 sizes as regulation size. 9 foot (the original), 8 foot, and oversize 8 foot.

The length varies by the size, as there are three regulation size tables. These are referred to as 9 foot (the typical and historically, the only regulation size), 8 foot, and oversize 8 foot tables. None of these are actually of the same length as their names. A 9 foot table has a 100 inch playing surface, and adding 1 foot for the end rails, the table is 112 inches long.

An 8 foot table has an 88 inch long playing surface, and adding the 1 foot for the rails, the table is 100 inches long.

An oversize 8 foot table has a 92 inch playing surface, and adding the 1 foot for the rails, the table is 104 inches long.

The playable area for a 9 foot is 100 inches by 50 inches, and add 12 inches in each direction, the rails, for total size.

The playable area for an 8 foot is 88 inches by 44 inches, and add 12 inches in each direction, the rails, for total size.

The playable area for an oversize 8 foot is 92 inches by 46 inches, and add 12 inches in each direction, the rails, for total size.

The WPA specifies two table sizes for tournament play.

A "9-ft" table has a playing surface area of 100 x 50 inches.

An "8-ft" table has a playing surface area of 92 x 46 inches, although this is typically called an oversized 8-ft or 8-ft pro table.


In addition, you can find other table sizes for home or commercial use.


A home 8-ft table has a playing surface area of 88 x 44 inches.

A 7-ft table has a playing surface area of 76 x 38 inches.


The playing surface area is the area between the noses of the cushions. The exterior dimensions of the table will depend on the width of the rail and cushions.

In order to answer this question you need to set up an equation: let p= pool table length 30=3/2p *you can multiply by 2/3 or divide 3/2 (same thing) p=20 ft
