jARED,maybe you know the answer to this question, while shooting our match sat the guy i was shooting while attempting to make the 8 ball totally missed the 8 and then interfered with the que ball while it was still moving thinking he was shooting apa rules.I think this should have resulted in a loss for him.other people thought it was the ball stayed where it ended and it was my shot.we continued to shoot resulting in a loss for me.we need to clarify this in our rules! witch is the correct ?upon talking to other people who shoot different leagues they all agree it should have been a loss for interfering while shooting the8 and get teated the same as a scratch!

wow that a tough one.. how did he interfere with the cue ball? was it possible the cue ball was going to scratch? ..even shooting APA rules he should have known better then to interfere with the cue ball.. my initial opinon is any foul on the 8 ball would result in a loss of game but a few situations where it wouldnt be a loss of game were also brought to my attention when asking the opinion of others

if there was any chance the cue ball would scratch then id say deffinatly a loss of game.. if it was obvious it was not going to scratch id lean towards saying it was just a regular foul and you shoot it as is.. if he picked up the cue ball thinking you had ball in hand i would say loss of game because the cue ball has left the playing surface which is considerd a scratch by our rules

well hopefully this will not happen in tourny any time the que didnt look like it would scratch but not only did he hit it with his stick he also then moved it with his hand.I also had something happen in practice the other week in witch I was shooting the 8 called it in the corner the que grazed my oppenents ball but still pocketed the 8.I asked members of moose 1 they said that results in loss because I fouled why shooting eight and 8 was pocketed.We may need more clarification on fouling while shooting 8 ball.

the second situation would probably be considerd a loss of game for the reason you already stated, im not a big fan of everyball fouls like our saturday league has i prefer the APA and BCA rule of cue ball fouls only

in the first situation did the cue ball come to a stop before he hit it with his stick? or did he hit it while it was still rolling?

it would also be nice if more people used this message board so we could get more opinions about things like this its an easy way to discuss smaller issues and come up with possible solutions i think it would help the meetings go smoother

no the que ball was still moving when he hit it with his stick and I agree we need more people to get involved with this web site if that happened maybe we could get things resolved alot quicker. I also agree with your thoughts on the foul thing.

since this person said they got confused and thought they were playing APA i checked witht he local league operater to see what would happen under APA rules in that situation and was told since they didnt make the 8 ball if there was any chance the cue ball could have scratched it would be a loss of game and if there was no way it could have scratched it would just be a regular foul.. if the 8 ball had been made then it would be a loss of game
