Whats the standardized rules for 10 ball?
in 10 ball call shot:
can you call just a shot, make a ball and leave the opponent with next shot?
I know you can do it in call shaft 8 ball, but unsure about 10 ball
thanks
I know ten ball is a call shot game, some odd reason, I was watching a 10 ball event on youtube with Dennis Orcollo and Ralf Souquet and Dennis was shooting and fluked I believe the two ball in, but Dennis was still at the table and ran out the rack. I thought it was strange, but I guess some 10 ball events are not called shot?
More than likely you are probably right. Strange that Ralf would give the option back to Dennis shoot what looked and was a shot that was makeable. Thanks again.
So Basically its "9 ball" (+1), with no "Slop Counts" stuff.. Playing the number rotation. So am I correct in thinking that if your on the 2 Ball, you cannot Carom your 2 into say the 8, and continue your inning, unless the 2 goes in also (per called shot), correct?:embarrassed2:

post count ...
Brandon, I don't know of any top level pro event that would have a field full of guys like Ralf and Dennis that plays slop 10 Ball. If he didn't call the two it is possible Ralf optioned to give the table back to Dennis.
What happens if they miss their shot and hang you without calling safe?

9.8 Continuing Play
If the shooter legally pockets a called/nominated ball on a shot (except a push out, see 9.4 Second Shot of the Rack – Push Out), any additional balls pocketed remain pocketed (except the ten ball; see 9.9 Spotting Balls), and he continues at the table for the next shot. If he legally pockets the called ten ball on any shot (except a push out), he wins the rack. If the shooter fails to pocket the called ball or fouls, play passes to the other player, and if no foul was committed, the incoming player must play the cue ball from the position left by the other player.
There have been a couple events I know of with top pros on the roster and in which they were not required to call ball or pocket.
If no foul occurs, the incoming player must take the balls in position according to WPA rules. Here is the rule (9.8):
Now some events, such as the SBE, have played with the so called WPA+ rules. The primary difference is in WPA+ rules the incoming player has the option on ANY miss. This takes the two way shot out of the game that is still there under the WPA rules. But what is odd to me about the WPA rules is that there really is no reason to ever actually call a safety, and this seems strange for a call shot game.
A couple of events with top level pros on the roster is not the same thing as a "top level pro event", which is what I referred to. Think US Open 10 Ball Championship.
I stand by my statement - no top level professional event plays slop 10 Ball.
