There are several ways to play 8 ball. The 8 ball is all black. Balls 1 through 7 are solid colors. Balls 9 through 15 are striped colors. One person has solids the other has stripes. The person who has solids breaks. If a solid colored ball goes into a pocket, he goes again. If not the person with stripes goes. In one version a person has to call the ball and the pocket and hit the balls in a particular order. He says something like, "The 11 ball will hit the 15 ball and put it into this side pocket." Then if he is good, the person hits the 11 ball with the white ball and it hits the 15 ball into the correct side pocket. The person with stripes keeps going until he scratches. A scratch occurs when he accidently hits the white or cue ball into a pocket or he misses a shot. Then the person with solids takes over. If a player at any time knocks the 8 ball into a pocket while he has any of his balls still on the table, he loses. When all of a players balls have been knocked into pockets, then he tries to knock the 8 ball into a pocket. He has to call the 8 ball and the pocket. If he does not hit the 8 ball, he loses. If he knocks the 8 ball into the wrong pocket he loses. If the cue ball goes into a pocket, he loses. If the 8 ball goes into the pocket he called, he wins!
The 8 ball has no special function in any game of pool except the game of 8 ball. The first person to legally pocket the 8 ball is the winner of the game. If a person commits a foul that results in the 8 ball leaving the table or being pocket, it means loss of game for that player under most 8 Ball rules.
8 Ball begins with racking the balls and a lag for break. The lag winner strikes the cue ball with the cue to contact one of the front balls in the rack. Players then alternate turns with one player pocketing striped balls, the other solids, by hitting the cue ball into them with the pool cue. After a player has pocketed all his/her balls (1 through 7 or 9 through 15) the 8 ball becomes the new target. First person to pocket the 8 ball wins.
