Thanks for explaining & i prefer these rules as they're attacking rules to get on with the game

Excellent video, thanks for explaining, quick question with a ball having to hit a cushion after shot is it the cue ball and or any of your colour set, or must it be the ball (your colour)that is hit first,

[ozflyer]

Well fantastic IF you have a ref on each game..otherwise who decides if you are having a genuine crack at sinking your ball? seems like its been made a lot easier but maybe should have been left alone.

What is the rule with making a "genuine Attempt" at a shot when you are boxed into an impossible shot?

[alanbarke]

If my last ball is in front of black over a pocket can I hit the colour and pot black with my colour following into pocket?

[colwalker]

Are you 100% certain you cannot play any combination shot on open table eg pot stripe and spot? Other videos suggest you can as long as you pot the ball you struck first as well as the opposite colour (obviously no combo issues if both same group). Please confirm Thanks

[smwiasph]

What is opponents advantage on a foul? Two shots or ball in hand?

[mattymeddings]

What if after the break nothing is down and you sink one of each colour after the break?

[bradmolenkamp]

I thought potting the black on the break was instant win. It is in the rules we play and in ultimate pool.

Just a query around the 3 point break rule, is it finishing position of the balls as what seemd to be stated above? Or do you still get 1 point towards the 3 needed, if a ball zips around the table, crossing into the top half but finishing in the bottom half, near where the balls are racked?

[doriftpigs]

What is the rule if your opponent fouls and you are unable to place the white ball anywhere on the table in a position to hit your ball colour? Are you still able to nominate their ball to make the pot?

[gordonrobb]

Just found international al 8 ball rules from watching Ultimate Pool Champions League, which say they are using these rules. However, in a couple of the games I’ve watched, potting black off the break is considered a golden break and automatic win. How come?

[siara]

What if after a foul you have 2 carry shots and you use the first try to get the lead balls? do you still have two shots or do you lose one?

[maureenvaneeden]

What happens if you break, sink one coloured ball, but no balls cross the middle line?

[ashishitankar]

Where are the Universe Rules and the Milkyway Rules?
Those are even better you see xD

[miketottenham]

There is no deliberate foul rule in wpa rules

[crondawg]

Many of these rules are closer to American 8-ball rules

[laoistom]

It’s a four point rule for the break. Not three

[craigjackson]

Nah what a load of hog wash. Keep the world rules. This international rules will kill the game here.

[leonardtrigwell]

It is not a 3 point break rule it is a 4 point break rule
