Rules and Regulations of the game

• 2 PLAYERS  : In Eight Ball Pool, players aim to pocket their assigned group (Stripes or solids) and the 8-ball using a cue ball, and the first player to do wins the game. 
• CALL SHOT: In Call Shot, there’s no need to specify obvious balls or pockets. If unsure, opponents can enquire about the intended shot. 
• JUMP AND MASSE SHOT FOUL: In ‘cue ball fouls only’ games, it is considered a foul when jumping, curving, or massing around a non-legal object ball, moving it, intentionally or not.  
• LEGAL BREAK SHOT:  For a legal break, the breaker must either pocket a ball or drive at least four balls to the rail; otherwise, it’s a foul, and the incoming player can choose to play from the current position or request a rerack.  
• OPEN TABLE:   The table is ‘open’ after the break, allowing a player to legally hit any solid or stripe ball. 
• CHOICE OF GROUP:   The choice of stripes or solids is not determined on the break even if balls are made from only one or both groups. 
• LEGAL SHOT:  In all shots, except the break and when the table is open, the shooter must hit their group first and pocket a numbered ball.
• FOUL PENALTY:  When the opposing player gets cue ball in hand, they can place it anywhere on the table (except behind the head string on the opening break) 
• Semi-finalists will be decided by match completion times. The team that finishes the match in the shortest time will be directly qualified for the finals
