APA 9 Ball Scoring Question.
- Thread starter UGC
- Start date
Are you misusing the word "game" for "match"???
If your scenario happens in the middle of a "match" (or...during a "game" but not at the end of a match), then that shot counts as 3 points as long as there is no foul involved.
If your scenario happens at the end of a "match" and the shooter needs only 2 points to win the match, then the 8-ball is counted as a dead ball, as long as there is no foul involved. If the shooter only needed 1 point to win the match, then the shooter would get credit for 1 point, with half of the 2-point-valued 9-ball and the 8-ball being counted as dead balls.
I hope this helps.
The anti-APA people ought to be along any minute now.

Totally unnecessary post.
I can only believe that the OP is quite knowledgeable about that fact.
He may be new to APA scoring, but I would bet that he's not new to the game of pool, what with a 2013 join date.

I'm not new to pool. I'm new to the way the APA scores 9 ball.

VERY helpful post. Thank you for this comment.
My post wasn't directed at the OP. The name was deliberately omitted from the quote.
Not unheard of for someone to repeat misinformation they read on the Internet as truth.
