Does black ball get returned to table 8 ball pool after a foul?
If the black 8 ball is the object ball and a foul occurs during the shot, the game is over. This foul is loss of game.
What is the penalty for a foul in 8 ball pool?
If you're referring to a foul, it's ball in hand for the incoming player, provided it is a cue ball foul (i.e. scratch, ball off table, hitting opponents ball before your own, etc.). I believe some fouls result in loss of turn, but not ball in hand (i.e. - an object ball leaves the table).
Is it a scratch in pool if you dont hit a ball?
Under most rules if you fail to hit your object ball it is a foul, not a scratch. The foul will mean ball-in-hand to your opponent.
What happens when you move a pool ball?
If any ball on the table is moved, it is either a foul or is simply moved back, depending upon the rules in use, and depending upon how the ball was moved. An accidental move in most regulation play is still a foul. Under other play, it can simply mean the ball gets moved back to where it was supposed to be at the first opportunity.
Can you hit an 8 ball out of the way when you still have balls on the table?
Yes. You can hit your ball and hit the 8 ball to another location. If you hit the 8 ball first, it's a foul and your opponent would get ball-in-hand anywhere on the table, however, sometimes taking a deliberate foul is the best strategy.
What if you don't touch the 8 ball while trying to win in 8 ball?
It is a foul. Under BCA and APA rules, if your object ball is the 8 ball and you fail to contact it first on your shot, it is a foul and the opponent gets ball in hand. Under some house rules in the US, it can mean loss of game.
What is a scratch with the cue ball?
In pocket billiards, a scratch is a slang term to refer to a foul where the cue ball either goes into a pocket or leaves the table. After a scratch, the next player gets "ball-in-hand" with the cue ball. This allows them to place the ball anywhere on the table, or, depending upon house rules or if the scratch occurred on the break, placing it behind the head string. In 8 Ball, if the scratch occurs and the 8 ball is pocketed as well, it is a loss of game - under some House Rules, a scratch when shooting the 8 ball is automatic loss of game.
Is it foul if cue ball jumps after hitting the object ball in 8-ball?
Depends.... Does the ball "jump" off the table and land on the floor? If so then yes. If it jumps off the table and lands back on with out falling into the pocket then no(like a jump). once the ball (any ball) hits the floor it is a foul. jumps are allowed in billards (except snooker i believe)
If you have one ball left and the eight ball and you hit the eight ball into your ball and they both go in do you still win?
No, the 8 ball must be potted on it's own, potting it with another ball is a foul. ADD: Technically correct, but not complete...potting it with another ball is a foul, but as the rules state, pocketing the 8 ball on a foul is loss of game.
Cue ball goes in same time as black ball?
If the game is 8 ball, this is a foul that results in loss of game under most rules.
Is a batter out after hitting a foul ball then steps on home plate using high school rules?
No
Is the game over if you make the cue ball in a pocket on the break?
In 8 Ball, the table remains "open", meaning no one has high (stripes) or low (solids) and the next player shoots. Depending uopon the rules in use, this can be "ball-in-hand" anywhere on the table or only from behind the line (the break area).
