It depends on the rules of the league. It is only leagues that give anything other than one point for a win at eight ball. Different leagues score differently.

10 point scoring system.

I think I will shoot with the new Joss first simply because it comes with that Joss Premium Layered Soft tip. All of my cues have the pressed Elkmaster tip but Joss said they didn't have that as an option.

Now the new Pechauer cue will indeed have the Elkmaster tip on it.

As far as the Joss shaft I got their regular standard shaft. Nothing special here.

When I got my first soft tip ever... I noticed it shot pretty unpredictable until at least 10hrs of play. I am assuming this is because soft tips are just inconsistent until they become a medium hardness. after about 50hrs of play... Now I'm left with a medium tip with a mushroom. I think the Lesson I learned is there is no point in buying soft tips.

Yes it's a loss, that has already been established.

Go into hypothetical mode, say someone is playing a match in a WPA sanctioned league.

What is the score?

i have not read thru the whole thread so if this was already addressed i apologize just lead me to the post
in the one pocket rules it says this (bolded part by me)
10.3 SELECTING POCKETS AND THE BREAK SHOT The breaker of each rack will choose a pocket, and the opponent gets the other foot pocket. If the breaker does not explicitly indicate a pocket, they are assigned the foot pocket opposite to the side of the cue ball placement for the break. The cue ball begins in hand above the head string. There are no special requirements for the break shot.
......................................................
if there are no special requirements does that mean you do not have to hit a rail or make a ball?

You don't have to get a ball to a cushion but of course that's a foul, as it is on all shots, and you would owe a ball. The word you overlooked is "special". That word means you don't have to do anything special, like get two object balls to the cushion, which is not required on any shot at one pocket.

Also, since you are not required to make the cue ball touch a cushion after contact with an object ball on any normal shot, that is also not required on the break shot. If it was required on the break shot, it would be a special requirement on the break. That means that if you want, you can kick to the side of the rack and it is not a foul as long as you satisfy all of the requirements of a shot.
