If this is done, it is the breaker's responsibility to retrieve the game ball. Although unlikely, it’s possible that the breaker prefer to have the game ball spotted instead of accepting the win. Legally pocketing the 8-ball on the break wins the game for the breaker assuming no foul has been committed. This rule requires some level of judgment, but would result in the non-breaking shooter having cue ball behind the head string and the table is open. CUE BALL INTERFERENCE The shooter interferes with the travel of the cue ball when the cue ball could possibly scratch.If there are any balls on the foot spot or blocking the foot spot the balls that were knocked off the table are to be placed directly behind the balls blocking the foot spot toward the foot cushion. OBJECT BALL OFF TABLE If any object balls were driven off the table, they are to be returned to the table and placed on same foot spot where the rack took place in numerical order.Note: The incoming shooter has cue ball in hand behind the head string and may not shoot any object ball that is behind the head string, unless he first shoots the cue ball past the head string and causes the cue ball to come back behind the head string and hit the object ball. The non-breaking shooter has cue ball behind the head string and the table is open. CUE BALL POCKETED OR DRIVEN OFF THE TABLE If the cue ball is pocketed or driven off the table during the break shot, it is a foul.If the incoming shooter opts for (3) he does not have to call his pocket since it is considered a break. Note: If the incoming shooter opts for (1) or (2) it is then considered a regular turn at the table. Asking for a re-rack, taking the cue ball in hand behind the head string and taking responsibility for the break.Taking cue ball in hand behind the head string and shooting the current position of the numbered balls.Accepting the table in position and shooting.If a foul is committed, the incoming shooter has the option of There is one exception to this rule, if playing Masters and a break foul is committed the incoming shooter gets to break. DID NOT EXECUTE A LEGAL BREAK If the breaking shooter did not execute a legal break (including a miscue) the breaker gets to attempt the break again until they execute a legal break or commits a foul.IBA leagues are not “ a rack your own” league. The breaker’s opponent normally racks the balls, but the opponent may designate anyone they wish to rack as long as it is not themselves. In this case, accept the best rack possible. Note:The condition of the felt often makes it impossible to perfectly satisfy the rules above. If, after the balls have been racked, all balls in the rack are not in contact with one another, also known as a "loose rack", the shooter who is to break may request a re-rack, at which time the opposing shooter is to re-rack the balls so that all balls in the rack are properly contacting one another, also known as a "tight rack" The base of the rack should be parallel to the foot cushion. The object balls (1-ball through 15-ball) are to be racked as tightly as possible in a triangular shape, with any stripe or solid at the apex of the triangle and on the foot spot, the 8-ball in the middle of the triangle, a striped ball in one corner of the rack and a solid ball in the other corner. Any ball pocketed on a foul remains pocketed, regardless of whether they belong to the shooter or the opponent. When calling your pocket, it is never necessary to indicate details such as the number of cushions, banks, kisses, caroms, etc. If the shooter does not call their intended object ball and pocket when performing a bank shot, a kick shot, a jump shot, a masse shot or a combo shot, it is a loss of turn. Obvious balls and their respective pockets do not have to be specified, however, when performing a bank shot, a kick shot, a jump shot, a masse shot or a combo shot, the shooter must call their intended object ball and pocket. It is encouraged that all balls be specified vocally to your opponent along with their intended pocket. If the two players agree to play “call your pocket” then the following rules apply:Ĭalling a pocket is done by either, verbally announcing the designated pocket to the opponent or any shooter on the opposing team or by pointing at the pocket with your hand or pool cue. If the players can’t agree to “call your pocket” then the players will play the set as “slop counts”. In the Leisure format, at the start of a set the two players must agree to play “call your pocket”.
