Scratching on the first ball in a game of pool typically results in a foul, allowing your opponent to place the cue ball anywhere on the table for their next shot.
When a player scratches the cue ball in pool, the penalty is that the opponent gets ball in hand, meaning they can place the cue ball anywhere on the table for their next shot.

Once you have taken the penalty and hit the new ball, you may not hit the old ball again. Play on with the penalty and the new ball.
No, not automatically. It is a 5-yard penalty. If the penalty moves the ball past the line to gain, then it is a first down.
In scratch pool, players must hit the cue ball into the object balls in numerical order. If a player fails to hit the correct ball first, it is a scratch and the opponent gets ball in hand. The game is won by pocketing all the object balls in order.
theres no penalty, you just look stupid
Yes, it is considered a scratch if the cue ball hits the 8 ball in a game of pool.
When you scratch in pool, the cue ball goes into a pocket, resulting in a foul.
The referee must decide whether the ball exited the field before or after the foul.If the foul happened first, then a penalty kick would be awarded.If the ball exited the field first, then a goal kick or corner kick is awarded depending on who touched it last. It cannotbe a foul, as the ball was already out of play. It could be misconduct depending on the severity.
During a match, no. If the player misses and the ball remains in play, play continues. If however it is a penalty shoot out and the penalty is missed then yes, the ball is dead.
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).
A ball in the hand is worth two in the bush.
