1.
If any object ball jumps off the table, the opponent can
choose to either continue the shot or have a free ball
(ball in hand) instead. The object ball has to be placed
on the head string. However, if the number 8 jumps off
the table, you lose the game.
2. You have
to contact your own solid or stripe ball first when you
make a shot; otherwise you cause a foul.
3. You can not to hit the numbered 8 ball in a combination,
like a Kiss,
or you might lose the game. This depends on the rules
you are playing.
4. When you shoot at the number 8 ball, and you make a
foul or the cue ball goes into the pocket, you don't lose
the game as long as the 8 ball is not pocketed or off
the table. Your opponent gains a chance for a free ball.
5. You might lose the game if you don't call the pocket
for the 8 ball. This depends on the rules you are playing.
