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.
there is not anyway to illegally break in 9 ball pool!!
The the first foul that occurs should be the called foul. Under BCA and APA 8 Ball rules, multiple fouls, which can include a scratch, cannot be assessed and only one foul can be called. Except on the break, a scratch is defined as a type of foul. The shot must be a legal shot to foul, and if the break is not a legal break, no foul can occur although a scratch can occur.

Scratching on a pool break is considered a foul, resulting in a loss of turn and the incoming player getting ball-in-hand, meaning they can place the cue ball anywhere on the table for their shot.

Scratching on the break typically results in a foul, where your opponent gets ball-in-hand behind the headstring. You do not automatically lose the game for scratching on the break, but it can give your opponent an advantage.
Look up the world standardized rules. According to such the incoming (next player) has the option of a re-rack or a spotting the eight ball. of course there are many regional variants and considering the stakes is important when challenging house rules.
For pocket billiards, 9 ball is often won in 1 shot. Both 8 ball and 9 ball can be won on the break,
