Two questions:
14.1 game cue ball jumps rolls on the rail and back on to the table.
Is it a foul?
14.1 game cue ball strikes object ball, object ball jumps onto rail and rails back on the table.
Is it a foul?
I think you are wrong. Please tell me where you come up with the rule.

The rule says driven off table is only if ball comes to rest off the table.
I think that implies the surface above the rail can be used during play.
The hard part of the rail is OK at pool. It is not OK at carom. It is OK at snooker.Forget where to look for this, but something about playing surface of the table and object balls. Basically every interpretation I’ve been given is; the cloth of the rail is good, the pockets are good to contact the top of. If a ball contacts your cue, chalk, clothing, hair, or the wood/laminate of the table, it is a foul.

One of the reasons to keep chalk off the table is if for when the cue ball rides the rail. I'm not sure what's supposed to happen if the cue ball hits your opponent's chalk while up there.
There is a position shot that sometimes the cue ball will hop off the playing surface and bounce along the top of the cushion a short distance and then back on to the table.
Anybody know the shot?
yup you know the shot.Yea it’s especially useful when straight in on the end rail and very close to cushion…to get back up table without having to resort to top draw
Good shot for to keep in the bag!

The cue ball comes down partly on the nose of the cushion and is bumped sideways, usually. It was a much easier shot on the thicker cloth.There is a position shot that sometimes the cue ball will hop off the playing surface and bounce along the top of the cushion a short distance and then back on to the table.

When running a pool league, I've researched this rule back in the 1990s.The hard part of the rail is OK at pool. It is not OK at carom. It is OK at snooker.

Well, think of t like this, if you are playing 9 ball, you are allowed to jump balls, and since the ball came back to the table, my guess is it's not a foulThank you. I tried to find the rule, but couldn't. Had this happen to me playing a 9 ball league match. I questioned it but told not scratch.
