Best Answer

In 8-ball pool, the black ball rules state that players must pocket all of their designated balls (stripes or solids) before attempting to pocket the black 8-ball. If a player pockets the black 8-ball before all of their designated balls, they lose the game.

What are the rules for the game called STARS in pool?

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 -
