Tom,

If you keep old lists, check out the following subject:

     ANN: Bouncing Ball Tools

If not, just load the following:

   go url  http://home.infostations.net/jhurley/BouncingBallTools.rev

This shows a cue ball bounding off any  number of circular, fixed objects.

I've never seen bumper pool. Don't know how it is played. But it 
sounds like fun.

When I want to feel successful, with very little effort, I change the 
table friction to zero, i.e. the ball speed multiplier to 1. After 
the break, watch the ball rattle around the table and eventually all 
are pocketed, include the cue ball.
