I have always believed on the opening break. When causing an illegal break and the cue ball goes in the upper corner pocket, that it was only -2 points and that the illegal break over rides the scratch.... I recently watched a 2017 match between Alex P. and Thorsten H.... where Alex scratched while making an illegal break... They counted it all to be -3 and Alex was on one foul.... Maybe Bob Jewett can help out with this question. Is there anything written?
