If the black 8 ball is the object ball and a foul occurs during the shot, the game is over. This foul is loss of game.
Yes. If your object ball is the black 8 ball and it is not the ball that is hit first, it is a foul.
Under most rules if you fail to hit your object ball it is a foul, not a scratch. The foul will mean ball-in-hand to your opponent.
Any foul when shooting on the black is an automatic loss for the player who fouled.If the white follows the black in, then you lose in any case.the person who pots the white and black ball at the same time loses.
yes it can
If any ball on the table is moved, it is either a foul or is simply moved back, depending upon the rules in use, and depending upon how the ball was moved. An accidental move in most regulation play is still a foul. Under other play, it can simply mean the ball gets moved back to where it was supposed to be at the first opportunity.
It's called a foul
If you're talking about the game of pool - and you pot a 'spot' and a 'stripe' ball off the break - you have a choice of which to go for next. Most people who do this off the break choose whichever set of balls are in the best position to clear the table.
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).
It's the same name, whether it's pool, snooker or billiards.... The Cue-ball
White.
No.. There is no semi-circle in 8 Ball. Therefore, no shot can be made from a semi-circle in the game. However, any called shot striking a legal object ball first is legal in 8 Ball with ball-in-hand as long as the cue ball is placed properly (in the kitchen for a foul on the break, anywhere on the table at other times), although there are ways to foul.
