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