Two players get 15 balls numbered 1 to 15 and divided into two groups. There are solids and stripes plus the black 8 ball. As the game starts, the first player takes the breaking shot on the balls racked in triangular fashion. An object of breaking shot is to choose a group of balls. If the breaking shot pots a solid ball, the player is assigned the group of solids. If the breaking shot pots a stripe ball, the player is assigned the group of stripes. The ultimate goal of 8 ball pool is, for each player, to pot all balls from the assigned group, and then pot the eight ball. If a player does not por any of the assigned balls in a shot, the turn passes to the opponent. If a player pots eight ball before all the assigned balls or pots the eight ball and simultaneously commits a foul, the player loses the inning. If a player does not hit a ball with the cue ball, it is a foul. If a player hits the eight ball first or one of the opponent's balls first, it is a foul. If a player pots the cue ball, it is a foul. For every commited fould, the opponent gets a free shot. If, during a free shot, a player pots no balls, he gets another shot. A fould during a free shot counts as a regular fould, and the turn passes to the opponent. If a player pots the cue ball, the opponent gets ball in hand, which means that it can be placed at any spot behind the white line. Have fun playing this awesome pool game! |
