One Pocket

[Bob Jewett]

Thank you for knowledge.
Another question please.
My opponent owes 1 ball.
My inning I shoot a ball in my pocket and at the same time sink a ball in his pocket. What is the rule. Thanks for your time.

Usually he wins. The exception is if there is a spot, such as 8-6, which means that you might have pocketed your winning ball on the same shot. Then you would win.

Stated a little differently: The game ends as soon as one player has the required score. If both players get to the required score on the same shot, the player shooting wins.

I,m sorry I should have stated my shot was not for the winning point. My question is does the opponents ball get spotted immediately or after my inning.

Oops, I read your post wrong. I read "owes" as "needs".

Balls never spot during a turn unless all balls are off the table. Your opponent's owed ball spots at the end of your inning.

Thank you Bob. Have a great day.
