BCA World Standard Rules...8 ball.....what to do with jumped balls (balls jumped off table)....do they spot, or remain out of play?

WPA (World-Standardized) rule:

3.7 Spotting Balls
If the eight ball is pocketed or driven off the table on the break, it will be spotted or the balls will be re-racked. (See 3.3 Break Shot and 1.4 Spotting Balls.) No other object ball is ever spotted.​

I believe you need to shoot them from where they lie.

It's a foul, of course, and the ball remains out of play. (Rule 2.7.2 in the 8-ball section.)

Thanks . I won the bet. Jumped balls remain out of play.

Thanks to Mr. Bill Stock for taking the time to settle the bet.

I believe that both the BCA & the BCAPL Rule Books address that situation very well.
