Rules of Play 1. A legally pocketed ball entitles shooter to continue at the table until he fails to legally pocket a ball. Failure to do so is a foul. Less skilled player may shoot any ball he chooses, regardless of number. He need not call ball, pocket or mode of shot.
Any ball pocketed on a legal shot is a scored ball.
Player loses game if he commits three successive fouls . If more than a two-player game, balls previously pocketed by disqualified player remain off the table. If two or more object balls are an equal distance from the head string, he may also designate which of the equidistant object balls he desires to be spotted. The stroke is a foul, and the player's inning ends. The penalty for fouls is followed.
