8 Ball Question
Me and my mate were playing 8 ball today and we were both on the black. I took my shot and the whiteball went in before the 8 ball. Does this mean i still won?

No, you lose. A foul cannot be committed when pocketing the 8 ball. Even if the 8 ball went in first, you still lose.

Actually no, if the black doesn't go down, it's only a foul in 8 ball rules. The other player gets the cue ball in hand and can place it anywhere on the table. You only lose if the black goes down or it leaves the table.

There is about 1 million different sets of rules going around. Usually starts fights a fight in the pub.

Me and a mate were playing for 20 bucks against these two geezers who tried to take two shots on the black. I said since when, 1 shot on the black only - thats one rule i thought everyone played. we flipped a coin in the end easier then arguing. and lost.

Yeh I have had people say two on the black. We had some b*stards one day tell us we had to always have the white ball hit the cush at one stage during a shot. I heard this is a competition rule? But it was a casual game in a bloody pub for f**ks sake. I should probably just look up the rules one day.

The cue ball or the ball you are hitting, but only if it doesn't sink.
Having just browsed the rules, I can't see anywhere that it says you can't have two on the black. So I would say yes, two on the black as well.

Every pub/club I've worked in has been two shots on black if the other person(s) still have balls on the table, if both are on the black then it's one shot
It's usually open to some interpretation, much like the shooting backwards rules

there are also different rules per different state, when i go to my cousins house in wagga(nsw), if you foul the opposition gets 2 shots but here in canberra there is only one shot after a foul. might have to source some rules from a pub or club, might clear alot of things up.
