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.
