🚫 What is a Foul?

• Hitting opponent's ball first
• Failing to hit a rail
• Double hit/Push shot
• Shooting without one foot on the floor
• Touching any ball with anything other than the cue tip (hands, clothing, etc.)
• Hitting an object ball off the table (Any ball except for the white)

⚪ What is a Scratch?

• Hitting the white ball off the table
• Sinking the white ball in a pocket

⚖️ Foul Penalties

If a foul occurs, the opposing player gets 2 shots.

If they sink a ball on the first shot, the second shot is omitted.

🎱 8-Ball Rules

• When shooting the 8 ball, a pocket must be called. If you sink the 8 ball in any pocket other than the one designated, you lose.
• If you sink both the white and the black, you lose.
• If you are both shooting on the black, any foul results in a loss.

💀 Loss Conditions

• Sinking the white while your opponent still has ball(s) in play is a scratch. However, if they are also shooting on the 8 ball, you lose.
• If your opponent is on the 8, and you sink your final ball but then sink the white directly after, this is treated as a scratch and you do not lose.

🔄 Ball Placement

• If you hit an object ball off the table, place the ball on the centre dot.
• In the event of a scratch, the ball is placed on/in the D. You then have only one shot, shooting forward.
