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.


If you scratch on the break in 9 ball?

In 9-ball, if you scratch on the break, the incoming player gets ball-in-hand, meaning they can place the cue ball anywhere on the table. Additionally, the 1-ball must be legally pocketed on the next shot for the game to continue. If the incoming player fails to make a legal shot after the scratch, they can lose their turn, and the original player may have the opportunity to continue.


Can you deliberately scratch on the eight ball if no other shot is avalibal?

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.
