Blackball Rules

[@phardy92]

That has explained alot to me. The pool league I play in as just recently changed to blackball rules

[@youwish1135]

As an ametuer player I personally like this variant of pool, but I wish the cueball making contact with a cushion before hitting object ball would also count as legal. I realise perhaps to more professional players that may make things to easy, but I find snookering alot more difficult now. I've always been in support of the rule that ball must hit a cushion, but personally I prefer to play before or after contact with object.

[@andyhumphrey9351]

i dident know about if you pot your last ball with the 8ball you win.

[@TheGreyGardener1990]

Good video mate thanks

[@DynastyHeroes]

Say the white goes in off the break I understand it's a free table if I pot a ball with my first shot after the foul does it always still remain an open table?

[@mattmurdoch4345]

Does it doesn’t count if just the cue ball hits a cushion on a shot where you don’t pot? Has to be the colour?

[@DynastyHeroes]

If it's touching ball and the touching ball isn't one of your colour do you still have to hit one of your colour or can you just hit a cushion with the cue ball?

[@johndoyle5983]

Is that an American style table though? Are those straight pockets?

[@tigsmorris7951]

Hiya, please can you explain playing your ball frozen/touching cushion rule, I’ve tried and failed to find this. Later I will ask you about the oddest shot I did which is still in controversy.

[@TsunamiStreaming]

if an object ball is frozen then a ball must clearly touch a cushion after the shot is played.

[@kevincronin6393]

What happens if you have two shots and 8ball is frozen to a red on corner pocket with 8 ball clung to the pocket and the object ball is ths 8 ball... Is the frame null and void?

[@paulobrien7126]

Whats the rule if the white fly's of the table during a break.

[@TsunamiStreaming]

it's a foul an the opponent gets 1 free shot and 1 visit.

[@spiritoftruthnetwork1589]

Hi. May you help m on this one, the definition of a legal shot says on must cause the cue ball's initial contact to be with an "on" ball, does it mean it must not contact the cushion first before you hit your on ball or you can have the liberty of hitting it via the cushion even if not snookered?

[@andyscott6315]

Total ball

[@arrugamingofficial5404]

+andy scott hi

[@siara23100]

What if after a foul you have 2 carry shots and you use the first try to get the lead balls? do you still have two shots or do you lose one?

[@gerhardvanderwalt3271]

No carry over shots. 1 free shot. That's it

[@stevethomas8126]

Hey mate just wondering if you can explain the loss of frame for a deliberate foul rule?

[@pearsy1000]

If a player plays a deliberate foul he/she loses the game, though if the player hits his/her own ball first a deliberate foul can't be called.

[@TsunamiStreaming]

you have to clearly make an attempt at your own ball/s

[@innocentgaetsholwe5409]

if a player scores his last object ball and black ball, has he won or lost?

[@TsunamiStreaming]

As long as he hits his own ball first and his ball is also potted at any point during the shot, if the black also goes in and he has none of his own balls left on the table in Blackball rules he wins the frame.

[@James-hm3jk]

What if someone pots a ball and the white ball from break

[@TsunamiStreaming]

They all get replaced and same player starts again

[@jephybean]

The audio was so bad I stopped watching

[@andyhumphrey9351]

theres 2 rules they should add. golden break and ball in hand after a foul.

[@h.m.5724]

Those are just dumb rules and of the reasons why black ball rules are the best

[@andyhumphrey9351]

@@h.m.5724 what I'm saying is they should add them 2 rules to blackball rules there be even better.

[@h.m.5724]

@@andyhumphrey9351 no there's no need to add those stupid rules

[@andyhumphrey9351]

@H.M. I take it you play 8ball. Let me ask you a question. Say if a huge company come out of nowhere and sponsored the IPA tour £1m a year. But they said you have to add them 2 rules to the blackball rules to get that sponsorship. Your say no if you were kev Barton.
