Look up the world standardized rules. According to such the incoming (next player) has the option of a re-rack or a spotting the eight ball. of course there are many regional variants and considering the stakes is important when challenging house rules.
No, a scratch on the break in 8 ball is not a loss of game - this gives the opposing player ball in hand behind hte head string. Under some rules, if the 8 ball goes in on the break and there is a scratch, it is loss of game.
No you don't. You give away two shots to your opponent, but you don't lose the rack.
Yes if you make in the last ball and then scratch, you lose and the game is over.
yes it counts as an automatic loss
A ball in the hand is worth two in the bush.
No, quite the opposite, you win. And if you are playing for money the loser has to pay 9 times more then the original bet. p.s. send £50 to You'vebeenscammed, Your Stupid Road, Gullable, Warwickshire if this ever occurs
Yes, you can intentionally foul if you wish. Your opponent would get ball in hand, meaning they can place the cue ball anywhere on the playing surface for their next shot, but sometimes this is the most strategic play. The only caveat would be if you pocket the 8 ball and scratch on the same shot, in which case you would lose the game.
That is lose of game.
No.
If the player makes the black ball in in their last shot and white ball bounces and makes their apponent last ball they still win now if the player makes an apponets ball in first and the black goes in he losses
If your Last ball is potted before the black then it is a legal shot and you win. * Added - In 8 Ball, under BCA Rules, APA Rules, and most House Rules this is loss of game.
No, you do not lose. When you scratch on the break, your opponent has ball in hand behind the head string. == If a player scratches on a legal break shot, (1) all balls pocketed remain pocketed (exception, the 8-ball: see rule 4.8), (2) it is a foul, (3) the table is open. Please Note: The incoming player has cue ball in hand behind the head string and may not shoot an 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."
if its an offensive foul the ball is automaticly turned over
As long as you keep it safe, like as long as you don't scratch it up, lose it, or break it, it'll last for a life time :)
yes as long as all of your body is in bounds before you touch the ball again
