Abstract: We introduce the notion of a Billiard Array. This is an equilateral triangular array of one-dimensional subspaces of a vector space $V$, subject to several conditions that specify which sums are direct. We show that the Billiard Arrays on $V$ are in bijection with the 3-tuples of totally opposite flags on $V$. We classify the Billiard Arrays up to isomorphism. We use Billiard Arrays to describe the finite-dimensional irreducible modules for the quantum algebra $U_q(mathfrak{sl}_2)$ and the Lie algebra $mathfrak{sl}_2$.
