1. If you sink the 8 ball on the break you WIN the frame.
This is self explanatory. On the break, if the black ball sinks in
the pocket, you win the frame.
2. All fouls are ball in hand.
If your opponent makes a foul, you have the following options: A) Ball in hand, move the white ball and place anywhere to take
your shot
B) Do NOT move the white ball and take TWO shots.
C) Place the white ball behind the line and take TWO shots. 3. Potting the 8 ball in the side pockets is NOT allowed.
Again this is self explanatory; you can only pocket the 8 ball in any of the 4 corner pockets by calling it first.
4. If the player makes a foul on the last ball (8 ball)
If your opponent makes a foul on the last ball (8 ball) you CANNOT use ball in hand or behind the line rule. You have to play the shot from where ever the white ball stops. This rule doesn’t apply IF the white ball falls into the pocket (scratch) when trying for the 8 ball. If it’s a scratch you have the option to play ball in hand.
5. You have to call the pocket before potting the last ball (8 ball)
Please be extra careful when you are potting the 8 ball. If you do not call the pocket and make the shot YOU WILL LOSE the match. Your opponent has to acknowledge your intended shot to the pocket you chose.
6. Sinking the 8 ball in your called pocket followed by sinking the white ball will result in victory to your opponent.
7. Use of the “extension stick” on the last ball is not allowed
You cant use the extension stick when trying to pocket the 8 ball.
8.NO jump shots allowed on the last ball (8 ball)
You cannot make a jump shot when trying to pocket the black ball. This will be counted as a foul.

FOULS:
In this tournament please take the time to read what will be considered as fouls. I know everyone has their own version of what is considered a foul but there has to be ONE uniform rule to this tournament. 1. Pocketing the white ball on break.
2. Sinking your opponent’s object ball after you hit your object ball.
3. Sinking your object ball along with your opponent’s object ball.
4. Sinking your object ball along with the white ball.
5. If you miss hitting your object ball.
6. If you hit your opponent’s object ball, before you hit your object ball.
7. White ball falls off the table.
8. Object ball falls off the table. In such case the object ball will be placed back on the table.
9. Your cue stick touches your opponent’s object ball.
10. If your foot is not touching the ground when making a stretch shot.
11. If your hand touches or accidentally moves your opponent’s object ball
12. When making one hand shots, the other hand MUST be touching the table.
Please note:
[*] You do not have to call each pocket when making a shot, except when potting the black ball.
[*] It has come to my attention that making a slop or fluke shot is generally not allowed, but I have looked this up and unless specified before the game, such shots can be termed a legal pot if the game is played without calling each pocket.
