I just started playing pool and I play with some older guys who sort of remember the rules from the 60s and 70s. Playing 8 ball (and only the devil would use BIH anywhere). Different guys have different memories and I'm trying to make peace with their various rules and memories.
If anyone remembers those days...when 8-ball fouls gave you ball in hand behind the headstring...
1. If you scratched the cue ball, and one of your balls was sunk, did the ball come up and get spotted?
2. If you scratched the cue ball, and one of your balls was not sunk, did one of yours come up anyway?
3. If the answer to 2 is yes, and you had no balls already sunk, did you "owe a ball" to come up later?
Thanks
