CAPTAINS AND PLAYERS!

THE FOLLOWING ARE A FEW OF LOSS OF RACK FOULS:

(1) Deliberately not playing a ball from their own group first.  A player who clearly and intentionally fails to make an attempt to play a ball (s) of their own group

(2) Committing a foul in the same shot that the eight-ball is pocketed. Example: cue ball scratch when the 8 Ball is made, double hit when the 8 Ball is made.

It is not loss of rack if you scratch and DON’T make the 8 Ball- it is ball in hand for opponent. 

(3) Early 8- Pocketing the eight-ball when a ball or balls of the player’s own group are still on the table. (Except on the Break)

(4)Pocketing the eight-ball legally, then proceeding to move the remaining balls before they have come to rest. BIG ONE! Don’t touch the balls if they are still moving AFTER MAKING THE 8!!

There are other loss of rack fouls, but these are key fouls that keep coming up. All rules are available in the APP - just press the yellow link in the upper left hand of the home page that says League Manual.

Thank you!!!
