Silly BCA eight ball question

Not sure I follow your logic.
OP specifically said BCA 8 ball. 8 on the break in BCA spots up or breaker gets a re-rack if he did not foul, breakers option.
Right. Which is why I said "No, you don't" in response to Skippy27 who said "When you break and make the 8 you have not established a set either and you win..."
Subsequently, I don't understand why KMRunout would quote my post. Unless he was refering to the "silly" part of the title, and the citing of an APA rule being silly, but I don't think the question is silly at all.
Frank, This happened to me. I made all 7 stripes on the break - was hooked on the 8 - and kicked it in.
This was "you are what you make". If it was "open" after the break, I would have tried to
run out. It was the strangest break have ever seen. All stripes and no solids!!!
Seems we have a winner. :thumbup:
Wow Kenny, I need some breaking lessons.
I didn't look at the rule book before responding.
IMHO, you would have two ways to go after making all of one group on the break.
1) If you shoot the eight and make it, you've declared the group that was made on the break.
2) You would also have the option of shooting at the group still left on the table.
How you been Frank,

That was long ago. I, also, made 7 balls playing 9ball vs Ernesto D. on a big table.
Well that's my claim to fame. lol
Hey Dale, haven't seen you since Reno. Are you coming to Vegas for the BCA?
Well, until you mentioned this I was going to suggest to be a gangsta and just pocket all the solids and then the 8 ... run the entire table in a game of 8 ball and brag for the rest of your life.
