Answers:
The liquid damaged the felt on your pool table. Do not use liquid cleaning products to remove it because it too will leave a water mark. Your best bet is to fess up because at 13 you probably can't get to the store by yourself to get the products you need to do the job. Most pool tables come with cleaning instructions for caring properly for the felt which is usually over slate. Mine suggested the use of dry carpet cleaning granules or a product available through most pool table distributors to remove water rings and stains. The Capture and Resolve dry carpet cleaning granules work well, don't leave a water mark and remove most stains from the pool table felt. I usually suggest that clients spray the felt surface of their pool tables with scotchguard after they are out of warranty to protect the felt from liquid spills. This bubbles the liquid up so that it can be blotted away with a paper towel and not saturate into the felt. Your dad may have purchased a stain warranty, however, and since it is new, you really don't want to do anything improperly to void that warranty if he has one.
