First Answer:
There are no special rules. If 9 pins drop it is considered a strike.
Second Answer:
When you throw your first ball and 9 pins fall, it will be automatically considered a strike.
Third Answer:
In No-Tap Bowling, the bowler is given a strike for knocking down 9 pins on the first ball and does not bowl a second spare ball. This tends to even out the playing field somewhat between middle average and high average bowlers, also speeds up the game.
Fourth Answer:
No-tap is a type of game where a player gets credited with a strike if they knock down 9 pins on the first ball. The term 'tap' in bowling means the bowler threw a good ball on the first ball but left one pin standing. It doesn't make any difference, in no-tap, whether the first ball was a good one or not. As long as at least nine pins are knocked down, the bowler is credited with a strike.
Fifth Answer:
Ninepin No-Tap is a variation of tenpin bowling. The general rules are the same as they are for tenpin bowling. If a bowler knocks down nine pins on their first shot, it is scored as a strike. The pins are then reset and you move on to the next bowler/next frame. The bowler does not have to shoot a second shot. Knocking down all ten pins still counts as a strike also.
Nine ball (pool)
you cant shoot the 8 ball.
There are many pool games that can be played on a pool table. Some pool table games include eight-ball, nine-ball, three-ball, one-pocket, and bank pool.
In pool rules, scratching occurs when the cue ball is pocketed or fails to hit any object ball. When scratching, the opponent gets ball in hand, meaning they can place the cue ball anywhere on the table.
When playing pool, scratching on the 8 ball means hitting the 8 ball into a pocket along with the cue ball. This results in an automatic loss of the game.
If you hit your opponent's ball into the pocket along with your own ball in pool, it is considered a legal shot and you continue your turn.
In the US, whether you are referring to 8 Ball, 9 Ball, or Straight Pool you most likely need the American Poolplayer's Association (APA) rules. This is the largest governing body for these in the US. There are often slight local rules covering ball-in-hand and shooting of the 8 ball that may be different than the official rules. So be sure to check for house rules at a bar or local pool hall. The APA Rules can be viewed and downloaded at the link below -
Under most rules, no.
Yes, if you are playing BCA 8 Ball rules. No, if you are playing APA 8 Ball rules, except the 8 Ball which must be called. Yes. If you are playing Straight Pool. Maybe. If your are playing in a bar, they usually have House Rules which usually only require calling the 8 ball in the US.
In official pool rules, scratching occurs when the cue ball is pocketed or fails to hit any other ball. When scratching, the opponent gets ball in hand, allowing them to place the cue ball anywhere on the table for their next shot.
