    @brainofjikir your a fucking idiot. An in 9-Ball, if the 9, and the que are pocketed it is a spotted 9-Ball.

    @azoldtime09 in nine ball maybe, but eight ball no. If you are just playing bar pool or something than sure a lot of people do that. In professional billiards though that is how it works “fucking retard”

    @brainofjikir Are you Fucking retarded, the 8-Ball on the break consists of a win for the breaker, the only time the breaker losses for making the 8 on the break if made the 8-ball, and scratched, or if if he made the 8, and the cue ball lands on the floor.

    @rtripper

    Amen. EV is shitty. They pick these half assed jack-offs that play “pool” at some bar and now they’re experts. Dude probably never opened a BCA rule book before.

    He is not just a joke, i think if I saw him playing pool somewhere (obviously he doesn’t know how to play so i probably won’t be seeing him) I would walk up to him and take his cue stick. I would contemplating assaulting him with it, but no probably just walk up and take it.

    is this guy serious?? dude ur shit..

    scratch on break is usu rerack, and opp. gets to break. The rules ive seen for a legal break are no scratch, 8 ball not in, at least 4 balls to rail.

    This guy is just making stuff up. If you want to get laughed out of a real pool tournament, along with getting your face mopped with the floor, listen to him.

  16. rtripper on September 18, 2011 at 5:09 pm

    scratch on break is ball in hand behind headstring…..scratch on 8 ball is ball in hand to opponent not a loss…..for BCA league…..those are asinine “bar or local rules”
