CHOICE BILLIARDS DOUBLES RULES
Starting The Game
-Flip a coin to determine which team shoots first. That team breaks first when play begins.
-Rack the balls in the traditional 8 ball fashion.
-If the breaker pockets any balls during the break it does not determine the solid or stripe designating of his team. No matter what, the board is open after the break shot, meaning that any player can shoot for any ball.
Continued Play
-If the breaker sinks any balls on the break, his partner takes the next turn. Partners take turns shooting until one of them does not make a ball. Play then passes to the other team, which uses the same procedure.
-The first player to sink a ball after the break determines solids and stripes based on what type of ball he sinks. From then on, players must hit one of their group balls with the cue ball first, and should only shoot to pocket his group.
-A player must call his shots, or indicate into which pocket he will sink the ball. If he fails to call his shot, he loses his team's turn.
-Once a team pockets all of its group balls, the players shoot for the eight ball.
Eight-Ball Rules
-The eight ball is the key ball in a game of Scotch Doubles, and there are a number of rules regarding its use.
-In regards to rules about sinking the eight ball on the break. The breaking player (team) wins the game automatically (unless he also scratches, or sinks the cue ball, in which case the opposing team automatically wins). If a player pockets the eight ball or jumps the eight ball from the table at any time during regular play, his team automatically loses.
-When shooting for the eight ball at the end of the game, the player must call his shot. If the eight ball goes into the wrong pocket, or if the player scratches the cue ball while shooting for eight ball, his team loses.
Fouls
-Any player involved in the game can call a foul when he sees one, as long as he calls it before the next shot. Players guilty of fouls must stop shooting immediately. The opposing team receives the cue ball to place anywhere on the table.
- Foul offenses include not switching players correctly, playing too slowly between shots and shooting without at least one foot on the ground and obviously scratching or not hitting the desired object ball
