Cue ball draw with this?

We are playing BCA Rules with the Cue Ball Foul Only Rule in place. I am shooting and I inadvertently knock a ball into the pocket with my elbow. What are the consequences?

Some play where it re-spots and others play where its opponents choice. If its the 8b you lose. Sometimes. ;) BCA/WPA do not have a 'CB foul only' option. You need to get this stuff straight before you start.

In the BCA league that I play in, your opponent would have the option to leave the ball down, or re-spot on the table where he thinks the ball was. No foul unless more than 1 ball moves. If more than 1 ball moves, it is a foul, and any pocketed ball stays down.

Sorry but you'll have to show me in the rules where the opponent gets a choice in this matter. As far as the rules go, it gets respotted.... even if it was the 8 ball. Unless as Greg said, it had an affect on the path of another ball.

All ball fouls. Reading some of these scenarios that come up from time to time RE: moving object balls makes me hurt inside :ROFLMAO:
