Abstract: Fix a nonnegative integer $d$, a field $mathbbF$, and a vector space $V$ over $mathbbF$ with dimension $d+1$. Let $T$ denote an invertible upper triangular matrix in ${mMat}_{d+1}(mathbbF)$. Using $T$ we construct three flags on $V$. We find a necessary and sufficient condition on $T$ for these three flags to be totally opposite. In this case, we use these three totally opposite flags to construct a Billiard Array $B$ on $V$. It is known that $B$ is determined up to isomorphism by a certain triangular array of scalar parameters called the $B$-values. We compute these $B$-values in terms of the entries of $T$. We describe the set of isomorphism classes of Billiard Arrays in terms of upper triangular matrices.
