Rules: 8 Ball - simple rules

Short version:

• Ball in hand after a foul.
• Sink the black in any pocket to win.

Object of the game

• The goal is to pocket all your assigned balls and then legally pocket the 8 ball to win the game.

Breaking and determining groups

• Any player can break.
• The table is "open" until a group is determined.
• The first ball legally pocketed after the break determines the player's group.

Taking Turns

• The cue ball must hit one of your group's balls first.
• You can use your ball to pocket another of your balls. The first ball contacted must be from your group.
• Players continue shooting until they miss, commit a foul, or win the game.
• After a foul, the incoming player gets "ball in hand" anywhere on the table.

Key Fouls

• Hitting the opponent's balls first.
• Not hitting any ball with the cue ball.
• Pocketing the cue ball (scratch).
• Touching any ball with your body or clothes.

Winning the Game

• Legally pocket all your group's balls
• Legally pocket the 8 ball

Losing the Game

• Pocketing the 8 ball before all your group's balls are pocketed.
• Committing a foul while pocketing the 8 ball.
