If your Last ball is potted before the black then it is a legal shot and you win. * Added - In 8 Ball, under BCA Rules, APA Rules, and most House Rules this is loss of game.
In eight ball, the aim is to sink your 7 balls followed by the eight ball (black). Your balls are either the bigs or littles. In straight ball, the aim is to simply sink 8 balls of any denomination.
To win the player has to sink all the balls then sink the 8 ball. If they sink the 8 ball before all the others they are disqualified. It is a lot harder than it sounds.
In the context of billiards or pool, being "behind the black ball" typically refers to a situation where a player's cue ball is positioned in a way that obstructs a clear shot at the black ball, also known as the 8-ball. This can be a strategic disadvantage as it limits the player's options for making a successful shot. Players may need to use skillful techniques such as banking, caroming, or playing safe to navigate this situation effectively.
