8-BALL RULES

GAMEPLAY

Gameplay is BCA Rules
Coin Flip to see who breaks (Winner of Coin-Flip Chooses to Break First or Pass) Alternate Break Afterwards
Breaker must perform a Legal Break (See BCA Rules)
If a ball is pocketed, that player continues to shoot until they miss
If 8-Ball is pocketed on a legal break, the ball is spotted, or can elect to re-break
Table is open after the break regardless what goes in
The shooter must call ball & pocket
(Obvious shots need not be called, but all Jumps, Banks, Kicks, Caroms, and Masse's be called)
When table is open, a combination involving a solid to stripe and vice versa is allowed
(Except the 8-Ball cannot be the first ball struck by the cue-ball)
Players alternate after the opponent misses or fouls
Game is won when the first person to legally pocket the 8-Ball on their turn

A LEGAL SHOT

When a solid or stripe has been determined, the shooter must make contact with
their set of balls first and then any ball on the table must contact a rail or go in a pocket.
Failure to do both constitutes a Foul

FOUL

A Foul can be committed two ways, either a Scratch (Pocketing the Cue-Ball or Knocking it off the table)
or failure to execute a Legal Shot.

Once a Foul has been committed, the players turn/inning is over and the opponent gets to take Ball-In-Hand anywhere on the table
The player who commits the foul leaves the cue-ball where it came to rest during the fouled shot, unless they scratch
However, the player who scratches will get the cue-ball behind the head-string when their opponent misses, unless the opponent also Fouls or Scratches
If the player misses a legally executed shot without fouling, the previously scratching player must shot forward from behind the head-string at their object ball outside the kitchen
