What is a scratch with the cue ball?
In pocket billiards, a scratch is a slang term to refer to a foul where the cue ball either goes into a pocket or leaves the table. After a scratch, the next player gets "ball-in-hand" with the cue ball. This allows them to place the ball anywhere on the table, or, depending upon house rules or if the scratch occurred on the break, placing it behind the head string. In 8 Ball, if the scratch occurs and the 8 ball is pocketed as well, it is a loss of game - under some House Rules, a scratch when shooting the 8 ball is automatic loss of game.
If you sink the white ball before the black ball goes in do you still lose?
In the game of pool, sinking the white ball (cue ball) before the black ball (8-ball) results in a loss if it happens on the same shot. This is known as scratching, and it is considered a foul. The game is typically lost if the 8-ball is pocketed prematurely, regardless of whether the player has pocketed all their designated balls. The opponent would then have the opportunity to place the 8-ball in a suitable position and continue the game.
