Rules of Play

 

• Highlighted player breaks.

• All pocketed balls on the break count 1 point each.
• All following shots, the object ball must move to be legal shot.
• "Object Ball" will be determined by the Next Ball app.
• Any ball can move the object ball. ( Cue ball does NOT have to hit object ball first )
• If object ball does not move, next player gets ball in hand.
• If cue ball is pocketed, next player gets ball in hand.
• All balls pocketed with the object ball count for a point each.

          Combination shots:

• When shooting a combination shot if object ball is pocketed a point is scored. If object ball and any other ball is pocketed, score a point for each ball pocketed. If object ball is hit first in the sequence and another ball falls, that ball is a "shape ball". Bring that ball back onto table at the spot and continue shooting the object ball. If a ball other than the object ball is hit first and something is pocketed, spot the pocketed balls and it is the next players turn.

• Examples:  referencing 6 ball as the object ball
  • Player hits the 6 ball into the 2 ball (2 ball is pocketed) spot the 2 and continue shooting 6 ball. No points.
  • Player hits the 2 ball into the 6 ball and 6 ball is pocketed. Score one point for the 6 ball
  • Player hits the 6 ball into the 2 ball and both balls are pocketed, score both the 6 ball and 2 ball
  • Player hits the 2 ball into the 6 ball and the 3 ball is pocketed no points are scored. The 3 ball spots and it is the next players turn. No foul is committed due to the object ball moving.
