9-Ball Game Rules (Summer)

GAME RULES

• The season starts Wednesday July 9th

• Minimum of three (3) players per night on a team

• Only one team member can play a maximum of 4 games per night

• Maximum of 7 players on a team.

• 9 Ball on the break wins a match

• A push-out shot is allowed, only after the break. Opponent can take the shot or give it back to the player who played the push-out.

• Two timeouts per game

• Same foul rules/ball in hand as our 8 Ball League except for after the break scratch. After the break in 9 ball, if the player scratches, the next player will have ball in hand and does not have to be behind the line

• Balls need to be hit in numerical order

• No need to call your shot on balls 1-8. We are only calling the 9 ball or calling a combo in which the 9 ball will be pocketed.

• If you hit the correct number ball but a different ball goes in the pocket, you continue playing

• You cannot play a safe by potting another ball

• A scratch on the 9-ball is a loss (even on the break). If you get the 9 ball in the wrong pocket it is also considered a loss.

• Rail contact after each shot or foul and ball in hand

• Post season can only have previous players who have played at least 1 regular season match.
