Would love to do this to someone, shooting on the eight see your going to scratch just pick cue ball up. Not loss of game now just a foul right ?Bet that would piss someone off. Would be fun.

From the APA nationals rules page 10.
A game is forfeited if you alter the course of the 8-ball or the cue ball in a game losing situation.
Was this rule changed?

no one altered the path of the cue ball or the 8 ball......... he just handed his opponent the cue ball........... gave him ball in hand....... it is marked as a defensive shot............

Yes, if cheating is fun, by all means, that is the right move
But without looking there might be some sportsmanship rule that may negate your little idea.
I guess I misunderstood the OP. Shooting to me equals cue ball in motion. Now I have picked up a cue ball and just given in it to my opponent when I am on the 8 and it is hanging in a pocket and blocked or partially blocked by another ball. Is that an APA sportsmanship violation? Are you at least suppose to make an attempt?
He picked up the Cueball while it was moving and it was a game losing situation (scratching on the 8-ball is a loss in the APA). Pretty cut and dry. How do you see it as not altering the path of the Cueball in a game losing situation ???
Freddie <~~~ very dry

Believe me, RJ, he wouldn't. He's just messing around. True stand up guy.

I think the only league that allows you to just pick up a ball without making a hit on it with your cue is TAP. You can foul on purpose but for it not to be a flagrant foul with a possible loss of game you have to hit it legally with your cue. So you can just tap the cueball with a legal stroke and not hit a rail or whatever you want, but you can't just pick up the cueball.
That's good to know... but I'd keep an eye on him anyways
