Is there an organization that doesn't recognize an early 10 as a win? Brian.
 
The World Pool-Billiards Association, the top governing body does not recognize an early 10 ball as a win. It is explicit in the rules:

9.8 Continuing Play ... "If a player nominates and legally pockets the ten ball prior to the ten ball being the last remaining ball, the ten ball is re-spotted and the shooter continues."

One thing I noticed while on their site they have a Download PDF link on their rules pages. Except for their main page though all the other tabs point to an outdated version of the PDF. I sent an email about it, hopefully the fix that link.

The change to the early 10 was only made in March or May of 2016.
 
I can't wait for the new rule - You must make the ten twice to count, once with each hand! You like it? :eek:
