Game Info
Eight-Ball: Players alternate turns, and can keep shooting as long as they sink one ball with a legal shot. A legal shot is one where the cue ball strikes a legal object ball first (stripe or solid, whichever belongs to the shooter), and then any ball belonging to shooter is pocketed. Nine-Ball is played with nine object balls numbered one through nine and a cue ball. On each shot, the first ball the cue ball contacts must be the lowest numbered ball on the table, but the balls need not be pocketed in order. If a player pockets any ball on a legal shot, he remains at the table for another shot, and continues until missing, committing a foul, or winning the game by sinking the 9-ball. After a miss, the incoming player must shoot from the position left by the previous player, but after any foul the incoming player may start with the cue ball anywhere on the table. Players are not required to call any shot. Further instructions on rules and playing options are included in the games.
