3. If a player does not hit the ball 8 by shooting it, it is a foul and the game continues. If ball 8 is the legal object ball, a scratch or foul is not a loss of play if ball 8 is not put in the pocket or jumped from the table. The player who arrives has a landmark ball in his hand. So what happens when a player pushes the white ball into the pool? If a player puts a white ball in the pool table, it is a foul, and the opponent wins a ball in his hand. If the player pushes the marker ball on ball 8, the result is an automatic loss, no matter how many balls the opponent still has on the table. Both are played on a full-size pool table with all six pockets and both have several championships around the world. However, it`s the most common game – the one you`ll most likely see playing in your local pool room, and the one most people think of first when the word pool is mentioned. 8. Accidentally moving or touching a ball is not a foul unless: 1) the moving ball is the landmark ball or 2) a moving ball hits the landmark ball or 3) a moving ball that is jumped from the table or put into the pocket or causes a ball to jump from the table or put it in the pocket.
(Exception of #3: If ball 8 is jumped from the table or put in the pocket, it is a loss of play if it is called by the opponent before the next shot is made). Only the opponent is allowed to move the ball as close as possible or leave it where he rests. If the shooter replaces the moving ball, this is considered a fault. In British Pool, tail balls are made in different designs to enhance the game. For example, some marker balls have a black dot, while others have marks that divide the marker ball into sections. The landmark ball with markings is more like a practice ball that helps beginners practice spin and other shots. 11. CHOICE OF GROUPThe choice of bands or solids does not decide the break, even if balls of one or both groups are inserted. The choice of group is only determined when a player legally inserts an object ball called after the breakshot.
According to the rules of the 8-ball pool, the white ball can be moved freely anywhere on the table (behind the head rope) during the pause shot. After playing the breakshot, players cannot move the landmark ball at will, except in certain cases. 16. ILLEGAL POCKET BALLSAn object ball is considered to be illegally inserted if this object ball is placed in the pocket on the same shot in which a fault is committed or if the said ball has not entered the bag provided for this purpose. Bullets illegally put in the pocket remain in the pocket and are counted in favor of the shooter who controls that particular group of bullets, solids or bands. The penalty is only the loss of the train. Smallpox from the white ball in the pool leads to a foul, and your opponent gets the ball in his hand. There are two ways to deal with this fault, depending on the rules you use and the time of the fault. You will either: 9. Picking up or shooting the landmark ball while all the balls are still moving is a foul. Option 2.
The circuit breaker can request a reack or uncover the ball 8 and continue shooting. If the circuit breaker inserts and scrapes the ball 8, the player who arrives has the opportunity to recognize the ball 8 and pull or rack behind the head rope and accept the break. With option #2, a match can`t be won or lost with an 8-ball at the break, no matter what`s plugged in for the same shot. 1. OBJECT OF THE GAMELEIGHT Ball is a call shot game played with a ball of cue and 15 object balls, numbered from 1 to 15. One player must pocket balls from the group with numbers 1 to 7 (spot colors), while the other player has 9 to 15 (stripes). The player who first plugs in one of the two groups and then legally inserts ball 8 wins the game. There are two ways for an opposing player to handle this foul, which depends on the rules the players use and the type of foul that has been committed: A white ball in a pool game is used to drive other balls into the pockets, and for this reason, the ball is called a landmark ball. While players can only place the landmark ball behind the idiosyncratic in casual play, the rule differs slightly in tournaments. Players can place the ball anywhere on the table for their shot in such cases during a tournament.
If you`re playing 8-ball billiards for the first time, don`t know what to do after repotting the white ball? While repotting balls is the goal in a game of billiards, repotting the white ball is indeed a foul and gives the upper hand to your opponent. Ball in hand is one of the most common ways to deal with fouls in the pool, but what does it even mean? Let`s take a look. If you play by the rules of the bars or scratch during the break, you need to know where the head rope is. There are a few different terms used for this place on a pool table, including: Although you and your buddy can expand the rules a bit when playing pool because you`re just playing an occasional friendly game, it`s a rule we recommend you follow. Object balls are randomly placed on the rack, with the exception of ball 8, which is usually placed in the third row. 14. The SCORINGA player has the right to continue shooting until he has not legally inserted a ball from his group. After a player has legally put all his groups of balls in his pocket, he shoots to insert the ball 8. 9. If a player jumps an object ball from the table during the breakshot, it is a foul and the incoming player has the option to (1) take the table in position and shoot or (2) take the landmark ball in his hand behind the head rope and shoot. All jump balls are viewed in numerical order. The black ball is the last ball a player must take after all the object balls have been inserted to win the game.
However, this still leads to a loss when the white ball is cast on ball 8. 6. LEGAL BREAK STROKEThe break To perform a legal break, the circuit breaker (with the marker ball behind the head cord) must either insert a ball or drive at least four numbered balls onto the rail. If he does not take a legal break, the other player has three options: 7. BLOCKED GAME: If during 3 consecutive rounds at the table, each player (6 rounds in total) is intentionally sprained or scratched and both players agree that trying to insert or move an object ball will result in an immediate loss of the game, then the game will be considered a dead end. The balls will then be re-torn and the circuit breaker of the blocked game will break again. 2. Pocket the ball 8 on the same shot as the last of his group of balls. 12. LEGAL SHOOTINGIn all shots (except during the break and when the table is open), the shooter must first hit one of his balls and insert a numbered ball or get the landmark ball or a numbered ball to hit a rail. 9. 8 BALLS PLUGGED INTO THE BREAK If ball 8 is put in the pocket in the break, the circuit breaker can reconnect ball 8 or uncover ball 8 and continue shooting.
If the circuit breaker scratches when inserting ball 8 into the break, the arriving player has the option to create a re-rack or discover ball 8 and shoot with the ball in his hand behind the head cord. 5. If a player scratches during a legal breakshot, (1) all balls taken remain in the pocket (exception, ball 8), (2) it is a foul, (3) the table is open. In Call Pocket, balls and obvious pockets do not need to be specified. It is the right of the opponent to ask which ball and which bag if he is not sure of the shot. Banks and combinations are not considered obvious and the object ball and bag must be called, otherwise it is a loss of the train. When you are in charge, it is NEVER necessary to provide details such as the number of pillows, banks, kisses, carambolages, etc. All balls inserted in case of fault remain in the pocket, whether they belong to the shooter or the opponent. If a player accidentally hits the landmark ball, this event also gives the opponent an advantage. The opponent can move the ball and place it somewhere behind the stubborn.
14. After a scratch during a legal break, when a player positions and shoots the landmark ball completely and obviously outside the kitchen, it is a foul. For all shots (exception: side 11C and during the break), the shooter must first hit one of his groups of bullets and (1) take a group ball or (2) get the landmark ball or another ball to hit a rail. * (There are two groups of balls: scratches and solids) There is no score as such in the pool, with both players simply trying to pot all their intended object balls and then throw the 8 balls into the pocket they have chosen. However, pool matches are often played over a series of games, so in a best-of-nine-frame match, for example, the first player to reach five frames is declared the winner. 1. If a shooter accidentally inserts his opponent`s ball, he stays at the bottom, but if the shooter does not legally insert one of his own groups, he loses his turn. 1. Insert the ball of 8 if it is not the ball legal object, except during an opening break. 10.
OPEN SHELFThe table is “open” if the selection of groups (bands or solids) has not yet been determined. When the table is open, it is legal to first hit a solid to make a strip or vice versa. Ball 8 can be used in the middle of a combination, but if it is the first ball to be hit, it is a foul and no drag or solid can be scored in favor of the shooter. The shooter loses his turn; The incoming player receives a landmark ball in his hand; all bullets put in the pocket remain in the pocket; and the incoming player addresses the balls with the table still open. On an open table, all illegally inserted bullets remain in the pocket. These rules were adopted by the Billiard Congress of America for the 8-Ball Fun League and Dooly tournaments. In the 8-ball pool (or snooker and billiards), the white ball is known as the cue ball.
