In billiards if you sink the other persons ball do you get to go again???

Question

When playing "eight ball" also called "stripes and solids" if you sink the other players ball do you get to shoot again???

Answer 1

i really depends because if u put your ball in first then your opponents ball then yes u get to go again

Answer 2

Let me clarify something:

You must contact a ball in your group first, but if you pocket one of your opponent's balls, followed by one of your own in the same shot, it's still your turn. Your ball does NOT have to go in first, it just must be contacted first.

Answer 3

no you loose your turn and the other person shoots.

Answer 4

Just as long as you make you ball legally first

Answer 5

no, you lose your turn, your supposed to sink your own.

Answer 6

Depends. If you hit your group first and make one of your group, then you keep shooting no matter what else happens, short of a scratch or sinking the 8-ball.

Answer 7

No. u get a foul and your opponent will have a what it say "Foul Ball " your opponent can place the ball any where  they want

Answer 8

If you sank one of your own balls first, yes, you may continue to shoot. If you hit the others ball first, no, ball in hand to the other player. Also, if you hit your ball, but sank theirs, not ball in hand, but the other players turn.

Answer 9

no it a scratched ball.

Answer 10

Hitting your ball first....   if you then hit your opponents ball in after that it's still   your shot !

Answer 11

If you hit your opponents ball first that is a foul and cueball in hand for them. If you hit your ball first and make your opponents ball there is no foul but you lose your turn. If you make one of your balls on a legal hit and one of your opponents balls also goes in then there is no foul and it's still your turn. Hope that covers it.

Answer 12

You lose your turn if you only sink his ball but if you sink yours in FIRST and then one of his you can still shoot again.
