My opponent was shooting with the bridge. He missed the shot and the cue ball went 2 rails and hit the bridge .What happens now?
another rules question
- Thread starter measureman
- Start date
So does the cue ball stay where it landed and I shoot from there?
yes, shoot from there.
you only get ball in hand behind the line is when whitey goes in the pocket.
I should say, I really do not know the rule what happens if a ball should touch a piece of equipment such as the bridge, playing cue ball fouls only. but if I am the shooter,I gotta sit down for a little while. You gotta respect the game.

Actually, most people play all ball fouls, or at least they should. All ball fouls are a part of the game.
It allows for certain safety shots to be played that force the other player to shoot over the stack or a ball
and hopefully making that player foul while shooting.
As for the rules question:
It is is a foul for any equipment or body part to interfere with the path of any moving ball,
playing either cue ball fouls only or all ball fouls.
The cue ball is played from where it stopped.

6.6 Touched Ball
It is a foul to touch, move or change the path of any object ball except by the normal ball-to-ball contacts during shots. It is a foul to touch, move or change the path of the cue ball except when it is in hand or by the normal tip-to-ball forward stroke contact of a shot. The shooter is responsible for the equipment he controls at the table, such as chalk, bridges, clothing, his hair, parts of his body, and the cue ball when it is in hand, that may be involved in such fouls. If such a foul is accidental, it is a standard foul, but if it is intentional, it is 6.16 Unsportsmanlike Conduct.

What do you mean "anyway". If cue ball hit the bridge, it does not really matter if you are playing "cue ball only" or all balls foul.
Kind of because the cue ball is a member of the "cue ball only" set.
