Question

If 8 ball in pool is pocketed in on a break what happens?

Answer 1

Generally an eight on the break is a winner as long as you do not scratch or foul. I have seen exceptions to this though. It depends on the house , league or tournament rules that you are playing under. For example , if you are playing in a BCA league or tournament 8 ball on the break is not a winner. It is best to check the rules before you play.    HAPPY POOLING

Answer 2

the one who broke, wins!

Answer 3

If you are playing 8-ball, the shooter wins that game!

If you are playing 9-ball, the game continues because you need to pocket the 9...=P

Answer 4

if you broke, you win provided you didn't get the white ball in as well, if you did you lose.

Answer 5

That's an automatic win for whomever broke.

Answer 6

The eight ball is putting again at the center of the table and the game continues

Answer 7

the one who breaks wins..

Answer 8

The breaker wins.

Answer 9

the 8 ball must go either in one of the top 2 pockets or 2 middle pockets,and it must be the first ball down,in which case the breaker wins.if it goes in either of the bottom pockets,or another ball goes down first,then the breaker loses the game.

Answer 10

Automatic win to the breaker

Answer 11

eight ball break wins every time.

Answer 12

You usually lose.

Answer 13

world standardized rules for 8-ball state that "if the eight ball is pocketed on the break, the breaker may ask for a re-rack or may have the eight ball spotted and continue shooting.  If the breaker scratches while pocketing the eight ball on the break, the incoming has the option of a re-rack or having the eight ball spotted an begin shooting with ball in hand behind the headstring."

but in bar room rules, pocketing the eight ball results in a win for the breaker.

Answer 14

you win!

Answer 15

I believe that you win because it is very hard to pocket the eight ball.  Otherwise, Good Luck playing!!

Answer 16

if only the black is potted you win but if another colour pots as well it would result in a re rack

Answer 17

In 8 ball pool the breaker automatically wins the game. But in 9-ball pool it is respotted because all the balls must be potted before the black ball.

Answer 18

You win! So long as nothin else goes down from break.

Answer 19

Whoever broke wins the game and that is why the eight ball is supposed to be in the middle of the triangle when u break because it makes it harder for u to win on the break
