9-Ball Rules Summary:
Rules are evolving and will be further discussed at Players Meeting.

1. Lag - The winner has the option to break.

 

2. Break shot - The winner of the last rack has the option to break.

• If the cue ball is pocketed or driven off the table, the incoming player has cue ball in hand anywhere on the table, and all pocketed balls stay down except the 9-Ball, which is spotted.
• Must attempt an "open break". Failure to attempt an open break is a foul.
• Any foul on the break constitutes the 1st foul, in a 3-foul situation.

3. Push-out: The player who shoots the shot immediately after a legal break shot may elect to play a push out.

 

4. Any ball landing off the playing surface is a foul. Incoming player has a cue ball in hand. This includes accidentally touching a ball, and knocking it into a pocket.

 

5. If there is a shot that may result in a questionable hit, the seated player must get a referee before his opponent shoots the shot. The player at the table must wait for the referee.

6. A player may not concede the 9-Ball. The penalty is loss of game, plus one additional game.

7. No ball tapping. The penalty is loss of one game.

8. The 3-foul rule applies. The opponent must notify a player before the 3rd foul that the player is on two.

9. It is not a foul to accidentally touch one stationary object ball. However, it is an automatic foul to touch 2 or more balls. Also, it is a foul if the offending player attempts to restore the moved object ball before giving the seated player the option of leaving the moved ball in its new position, or asking a referee to restore it to its original position. (Note: There are exceptions if the moved ball changes the outcome of a shot. See a referee for advice.
