During competition, players will alternate breaking on each subsequent game. Winner of the coin toss has the option to break. The balls are racked in a triangle at the foot of the table with the 8-ball in the center of the triangle, the first ball of the rack on the foot spot, a stripe ball in one corner of the rack and a solid ball in the other corner.įlip a coin (NOT OVER THE TABLE). The opening break is not a "called shot." Any player performing a break shot in 8-Ball may continue to shoot so long as any object ball is legally pocketed on the break. Any balls pocketed on a foul remain pocketed, regardless of whether they belong to the shooter or the opponent. When calling the shot, it is never necessary to indicate details such as the number of cushions, banks, kisses, caroms, etc. Bank shots and combination shots are not considered obvious, and care should be taken in calling both the object ball and the intended pocket. It is the opponent's right to ask which ball and pocket if he is unsure of the shot. In Call Shot, obvious balls and pockets do not have to be indicated. The player pocketing either group first and then legally pocketing the 8-ball wins the game.
One player must pocket balls of the group numbered 1 through 7 (solid colors), while the other player has 9 through 15 (stripes). These rules are adapted from the Billiard Congress of America for Dooly's 8-Ball Fun League and tournaments.Įight-Ball is a call shot game played with a cue ball and 15 object balls, numbered 1 through 15.
