Question

Why does yahoo not play by the regulation rules for 8 ball pool?

Answer 1

I agree with you SS, computer pool is a waste of time.

Answer 2

There is no regulation rules every league has diffrent rules. I play on 3 diffrent pool teams in 3 diffrent leagues and all the rules are diffrent in each league, So its not possible to have rules that everyone understands on yahoo

Answer 3

As a referee for the BCA Pool League, I'm also a stickler for playing by the rules.  This is just another reason why I don't bother playing pool-based computer games.  It's fun for a lot of people, but it spreads a lot of disinformation about the way pool is really played.  More people are familiar with various "house rules" than BCA world standardized rules.  I can't tell you how many people give me funny looks when my friends and I play professional rules in a bar.  Happy Shooting.  M.D.-BCA Instructor/Referee.
