International rules for 8 ball

[jonnyyyl]

Hi all,
Is there a formal document for the international rules for 8 ball?

If so, may someone be so kind to direct me there?


Thank you.

Here are the WPA (World-Standardized) rules of play for the various games: http://www.wpa-pool.com/web/the_rules_of_play

Every bar with a table has its own "international" rules. :smile:

great way to argue.

One of the main problems of billiards or pool , is all the different rules.
8 Ball is at the top of the list of having more rules then any other game on the face of the planet.
That is just how screwed up we are,:grin:

heh, thanks everyone.

i've signed up to a friendly pool tournament for charity this coming week. the game generally is informal, and said that it follows international rules.

i quickly thought about it and wasn't quite sure what it meant.
but i guess foul leads to a ball in hand and one ball must hit the rail should exist.
