Question

If you stratch in pool but you also get the 8 ball in on the same shot, do you win or lose?

Answer 1

You def lose,

I made the 8 ball once on the break, only to have the cue ball slooooowly rollllll into a corner pocket, changed my YEAH to AWWWW really quick! lol

Answer 2

I'm a referee for the BCA Pool League and the answer is, yes, you would lose if you both pocketed the 8-ball and the cue in the same shot.  Your opponent would then have ball in hand anywhere on the table.  The only time ball in hand is restricted to behind the head string is when the table is open (suits have not been decided).  This is contrary to many bar rules, but that's how the pros play.

Answer 12

Per your question, yes you lose if you scratch when you are "on" the 8 ball, and, the eight ball, at the same time enters a pocket or leaves the table.

However, if you scratch when you are "on" the 8 ball, and, the 8 ball  neither enters a pocket nor leaves the table, you do not lose. You turn at the table ends and your opponent has ball in hand behind the line.

These rulings exclude what would happen if such occured during the "break" shot. (If this occurs during the break you do not lose)

Answer 13

You lose.  Can't scratch, especially on the eight ball.

Much Love!!

Answer 14

by official rules you lose if you scratch on the 8 ball
