The dot is halfway between the second set of diamonds (from the end) on the long sides of the table. The "dot", or "spot" as it is more commonly called, goes on the imaginary "foot string", and is where the balls are typically racked. You can see a diagram explaining this in the Related links section, below.

The foot spot on the pool table goes at the intersection of the center line and the foot string. Place a long string down the center of the table lengthwise. Then, place a string between the 2nd diamonds from the foot end (the end the balls get racked). The foot spot is at the intersection of the 2 strings and the dot gets placed underneath the string intersection.

The only dot typically applied to a pool table is for the rack spot. This spot is located where the foot line and center line cross. The foot line is an imaginary line connecting the 2nd diamond from the end where the balls are racked. The center line is the imaginary line connecting the center diamonds of the two end rails.

The spot, referred to as the foot spot, is placed at the intersection of two imaginary lines. The first is the line in the center of the table that runs the length of the table. The second is an imaginary line connecting the second diamonds from the end of the table.

There is no center dot on a pool table. However, there is a dot placed near the foot of the table to identify where the racked balls are placed. This dot is placed at the intersenction of two imaginary lines - The first line is along the center of the table, lengthwise; the second is the imaginary line between the second side diamonds from the foot of the table.

Foot spot. This is directly in line with both the second diamonds from the foot rail and the center end diamonds.
