BILLIARDS:
After the break, regardless of whether any balls were pocketed on the break, the table is Open, with
the choice of stripes or solids determined by the next legally pocketed ball.
In the course of play, a player must call each shot in advance, by indicating the ball to be made and
the pocket into which it will be made. It is not necessary to indicate details such as cushions, banks,
caroms, etc. Failure to make the shot as called results in a loss of turn. If the shot is made as called,
then any other balls pocketed remain pocketed. However, if the called shot is not made and any
other balls are pocketed, then the shooter's ball(s) that were pocketed would be spotted and any of
the opponent's balls would remain pocketed.
In order to execute a Legal Shot, the first ball hit must be one of the balls in the shooter's group
(stripes or solids) and the object ball must be pocketed or the cue ball or any object ball must come
into contact with a rail. (Note: It is legal for the shooter to bank the cue ball off a rail before hitting
the object ball.) A player who legally pockets a ball continues play until missing or committing a
Foul. Once a player's ball group (stripes or solids) is pocketed, the player may play the 8 ball. Again,
the player must clearly indicate the intended pocket, even if it appears obvious. A player who legally
pockets all of his ball group and the 8 ball is the winner.
FOULS
1. Failure to execute a legal shot as defined above.
2. A scratch shot (shooting the cue ball into a pocket or off the table)
3. Moving or touching any ball by means other than legal play.
4. Shooting an intentional jump shot over another ball by scooping the cue stick under the cue ball.
A jump shot executed by striking the cue ball above center is legal.
5. Using the 8 ball first in a combination shot when the table is not open.
