If by "standard 8 ball" you mean "world standardize 8-ball" rules by the BCA, then the following rules apply.
Under the "World standardized" 8-ball Rules published (Version 21/12/2007) by the BCA, it states the following:
----------------------------------------
Rule 3-3 Break Shot
(e) Pocketing the eight ball on a legal break shot is not a foul. If the eight ball is pocketed, the breaker has the option of
# re-spotting the eight ball and accepting the balls in position, or # re-breaking.
(f) If the breaker pockets the eight ball and scratches (see definition 8.6 Scratch), the opponent has the option of
# re-spotting the eight ball and shooting with cue ball in hand behind the head string; or # re-breaking.
----------------------------------------
So under the BCA rules, its neither a win nor a loss.
If the cue ball goes in off the yellow, green or brown there are 4 penalty points. If the cue ball goes in off the blue there are 5 penalty points. If the cue ball goes in off the pink there are 6 penalty points. If the cue ball goes in off the black there are 7 penalty points.
When playing billiards, scratching the cue ball means it goes into a pocket. This results in a foul, allowing the opponent to place the cue ball anywhere on the table for their next shot.
Any foul when shooting on the black is an automatic loss for the player who fouled.If the white follows the black in, then you lose in any case.the person who pots the white and black ball at the same time loses.
When you scratch in pool, the cue ball goes into a pocket, resulting in a foul.
'Hit' just describes the contact between the cue tip and the cue ball. 'Stroke' is used to describe the technique used to hit the cue ball, which includes a players biomechanics. It's possible to attempt a stroke without actually hitting the cue ball.
It's the same name, whether it's pool, snooker or billiards.... The Cue-ball
There are two kinds of cue ball jumps, one immediately after the cue strikes the cue ball and one where the cue ball jumps after contact with another object. A legal stroke to jump a cue ball immediately must strike the cue ball above center - this drives the cue ball into the table surface from which it rebounds. Strking the cue ball below center to lift the ball intentionally is called a scoop shot and is a foul. A cue ball can be made to jump after hitting a rail by using extreme draw or follow.
When playing pool, if the cue ball is pocketed or goes off the table after hitting the object ball, it is considered a scratch. The opponent gets ball in hand, meaning they can place the cue ball anywhere on the table for their next shot. This gives them an advantage in the game.
Yes, if you hit the cue ball into the target ball and the target ball knocks the 8 ball into a pocket you lose.
The white ball, also known as the cue ball in pool, is called the "cue ball."
If the cue ball goes in it is a foul - the pocketed ball may or may not be removed and spotted depending upon the ball and rules of play. In the game of 8 ball, if the other ball is the 8 ball it is loss of game.
