Since nobody reads the rules forum I'll quote my post here:
I'll quote the VNEA rules here for your convenience.Player A runs his balls out and shakes player B's hand quickly. Cue ball comes around 3 rails and falls in the same side pocket the 8 Ball did. Who wins, A or B?
What says AZB and why?LOSS OF GAME
1. Pocketing the 8-ball when it is not the legal object ball except on an opening break.
2. Pocketing the 8-ball on the same stroke as the last of his group of balls.
3. Jumping or knocking the 8-ball off the table at any time.
4. Pocketing the 8-ball in a pocket other than the one designated.
5. Fouling while (pocketing) the 8-ball in the designated pocket.
6. Third infraction of the slow play rule.
7. Pocketing the 8-ball and the cue ball on the break stroke. (This varies, if your league considers an 8-ball break a win.)
8. Not correctly marking the pocket while pocketing the 8-ball.
Note: All infractions above must be called before the next shot is taken. Only the players involved may call an infraction.
