APA Question

[ConfidenceZone]

Playing APA double jeopardy yesterday and my opponent accidentally hit the second ball first while breaking in 9 ball. I asked for a rerack and was told different. Someone please tell me that was a foul break!

Head ball required by APA rule book.

Gave incorrect ruling info...
See post below for correct ruling...

From APA rules:

Failure to strike the 1-ball first does not
result in a foul. If the break does not qualify as legal, the
balls are reracked and broken by the same player.

From APA rules:

100% right, my bad.

Only ball in hand if a foul occurs during a legal break, not hitting the head ball is an illegal break.

Sorry about that I should have read more carefully.
