I love the fact that watching blackball even with 240p quality one is able to separate the balls easily. It's so hard to watch bar box 8 ball with 240p quality because sometimes you can't make out which are solids and which are stripes.
@charliechuck71 your getting different rules confused here, you can pot your opponents ball if you pot one of your own in blackball rules (which are being played in this tournament) and you cannot in world rules. 2 shots do not carry in blackball rules in fact, that is world rules. and on a foul in blackball rules you can move the cue ball but only behind the baulk line not anywhere on the table. in world rules you cannot move the cue ball on a foul unless you are snookered.
The rules were changed to make the game faster and more entertaining. No-one wants to watch a match tied up for ages because balls over pockets are covering each other and so cannot be potted. The "combination shot" was introduced to avoid this scenario.
im not a good player in this game but i play normal billiard, and i do think there is something wrong with the last potting. hitting the last 8 ball then potting the opponents ball at the same time i mean there should be a ruling about it. it does looks foul to me even if it is the last ball.
@nugget147 how can a player win a game without playing a single shot? and yes if i am playing pool in the local pub, i can't pot the black and win the game whilst potting his ball aswell, that's cheating! the rules of 8 ball should be straight the way it was years ago, none if this 2 shots carry, and lifting the cueball when a foul is committed and placing it anywhere on the table, and being able to pot your opponents ball as long as you hit your own first, i mean how easy is the game!
How can you call it a "proper" rule when a player can WIN a game without playing a single shot? If I break and clear the table, potting the black and one of your balls goes in, you think you should win that game?
