What are the rules of Pool?
- Break: the dealer shoots from the head spot; a scratch or missing the rack is a foul giving ball in hand behind the head string.
- The table is open until a player legally pockets a solid or stripe after the break; that group becomes theirs.
- A player keeps shooting after legally pocketing a ball of their group; pocketing only the opponent's balls passes the turn.
- Fouls include scratch, no ball contacted, wrong first contact, and no ball reaching a cushion after contact unless a ball was pocketed.
- After a foul, the next player gets ball in hand anywhere (behind the head string after a break foul).
- Pocketing the 8 legally after clearing your group wins; pocketing it early, on a foul, or while scratching loses.
- Call shot is not implemented: any pocket counts.
- With ball in hand, place the cue ball before shooting if it was pocketed; after a non-scratch foul you may shoot from where it lies.
- Resign is accepted from the seat on turn and ends the match.
