8 Ball - Rules

   1. If object balls jump off the table after the break, they must be placed back on the foot spot and it is a foul. The opponent gets to shoot or has a chance for a free ball (ball in hand) but he/she has to place the cue ball behind the head string.

   2. Traditionally, making the 8 ball on the break shot wins you the game. However, rules could be changed and it depends on the opponent you play with. If you accidentally pocket the 8 ball before you pocket the other 7 balls, you lose.
   3. If more than one object ball is pocketed at the same time and one of them is not yours, it's a foul. If both are yours, you can continue to shoot. If you accidentally pocket an opponent's ball, it counts for that person.
