Due to its simplicity, 8-ball eventually became the most popular recreational version of pocket billiards. And a popular bar game for generations. 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. 3. Jump or hit ball 8 off the table at any time. And since 8-ball is played informally in bars, billiard rooms, lounges and basements, there are of course an almost infinite number of “house rules” that change from place to place. If the player legally breaks the torn balls and does not make balls, then his opponent shoots with an open table. 3. It is a foul when a player scratches or deflects the landmark ball at the break before hitting the balls in the rack. The player who arrives receives (landmark ball in hand behind the head rope).
The American-style 8-ball pool is played by professionals and amateurs from all over the world, but there is still a lot of discussion about the details of the rules. 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. Note that some regional or home rules require an immediate win or loss by default if the 8 ball or landmark ball is put in your pocket during the break. Think.
If the crusher does not insert a ball and does not drive at least 4 balls on one or more rails, this is an illegal break. If only the marker ball is put in the pocket in the break, the opponent can choose whether he wants to pick up the landmark ball behind the head cord or break the balls again. Pool rules are among the most controversial of all sports, with slightly different variations played in different countries, cities, areas and even facilities. However, the World Pool Billiard Association (WPA) has created a standardized set of rules for amateurs and professionals that they must follow. 4. When positioning the marker ball for the breakshot, the base of the ball should be behind the head rope (kitchen). It would be a scratch and yes, some kind of dirty game. If the other player plays an open ball in his hand, he could line up anywhere and shoot the 8 ball into the simplest pocket.
If he didn`t openly play ball in hand, in most cases he would recognize ball 8 on his foot and take the ball in his hand behind the head rope for a fair chance. It also depends on the rules of the house. However, if the crusher does not insert a ball, at least four balls must hit the cushions. Gambling is the most commonly played discipline of the pool and is often considered synonymous with “billiards”. The game has many variants, mainly regional. It is the second most played professional billiard match, after nine balls and in recent decades before the right pool. [2] A player (or team) shoots until he commits a foul or does not legally put an object ball in his pocket (intentionally or unintentionally); Then, it`s the turn of the opposing players. The game alternates in this way for the rest of the game. After a foul, the player who arrives has the ball in his hand all over the table, unless the foul occurred during the break, as already mentioned. [7] 15. PENALTY AT FAULTIn case of foul, the opposing player receives the landmark ball in his hand.
This means that the player can place the landmark ball anywhere on the table (does not necessarily have to be behind the head cord except at the opening break). This rule prevents a player from intentionally committing fouls that would disadvantage an opponent. With the “marker ball in hand”, the player can use a hand or tail (including the tip) to position the marker ball. When you put the marker ball in position, any forward striking movement that touches the marker ball is a foul, if not a legal shot. 7. Insert the 8 ball and the marker ball on the break shot. (It`s different if your league considers an 8-ball break to be a win.) A) All balls put in the pocket remain in the pocket (exception, the 8-ball: see rule 9). B) It is a fault. C) The table is open. 3. Stopping or deflecting the landmark ball before hitting the cracked balls is considered a fault and a loss of gymnastics.
The opponent receives a landmark ball in his hand behind the head rope. 1. The game is played with a landmark ball and 15 numbered object balls. Regulation billiard balls are usually cast from plastic materials such as phenolic resin or polyester, with uniform size and weight for the right effect, rolling resistance and overall play properties. 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. A player wins the game if that player legally puts the 8 balls in a certain pocket after all his object balls have been put in the pocket.
For this reason, it is possible for a game to end with only one of the players having fired, which is called “execution of the table” or “refusal”. Conversely, it is also possible to win a game without making a shot; Such a scenario can occur if the opposing player illegally inserts ball 8 on a shot other than the break (for example, pushing ball 8 into an uncalled bag, dropping ball 8 from the table, sinking ball 8 if a player is not yet on the black ball, or sinking both ball 8 and the landmark ball in one shot). The rules of what happens when ball 8 is inserted from the break vary depending on the respective rules; Please see the Mistakes section below for more information. d) Another ball of an object that is made to touch a pillow with which it has not already been in contact. The general rules of the pool apply to all eight balls, such as the requirement that the marker ball not be put in the pocket and that a pillow be hit by one of the balls after the landmark ball hits an object ball. [10] The specific fouls of the eight balls are: they must be hit tightly so that the balls are all in contact with each other.
