Here's what CSI says on the subject. These rules are used by the BCAPL & USAPL

2-6 Establishing Groups

2. If all balls of either group are pocketed on the break or illegally pocketed before groups are established, either player may legally shoot the 8-ball during their inning. You win the game if you legally pocket the 8-ball on such a shot.

That's all that needed to be said. WPA now follows along with CSI in regards to this rule.

Not 100% sure if the VNEA sees is this way or not.

We will definitely work hard to modernize, improve, and expand the equipment specifications document in the next round of updates. There are many problems there.

Keep original units correct. Pool ball diameter balls are in inches, for example. I’ve seen articles where they used mm, rounded to 57.2mm, (with zero mention of the inch size) and then people reading that article think 57.2mm is the specification. Which is very wrong.

I actually think it was on Wikipedia of all places. From memory.

It’s the OP’s own product. Was relatively popular in the hard break era.

The BreakRAK was never intended for breaking hard. It is/was a training Tool, to learn an accurate delivery & control of the Cue Ball after impact. We sell more annually, now, than we did 10 years ago...
