Chid 6,676 Posted March 8 Report Share Posted March 8 English rules .. Should a foul occur, the opposing player receives two shots, and these shots can be carried on (i.e. if a ball is potted on their first shot, the player still has two shots). When a player gets two shots, they can pick up the white ball and place it anywhere behind the line to gain some advantage over their opponent. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chid 6,676 Posted March 8 Report Share Posted March 8 International rules No such thing as 2 shots. Following a ‘standard foul’ the incoming player is awarded one visit only with the added benefit of having ball in hand and being able to place the cueball anywhere on the table. This rule is new to 8-ball and has been borrowed from 9-ball. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Expand That rule is different in the different pub leagues around here. Some say you still have two shots even after you pot a ball, others say you only have one shot after you pot a ball. I’ve seen huge arguments over this, the only way is to agree on which version of the rules in use before starting ! Cheers. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
