Three Cushion Question

[DrCue'sProtege]

Both the white and yellow balls are/can be the CB.

But can both players use either the white or yellow as the CB?

I thought I read something where it said each player has their own CB and can only use that specific one.

The white CB is assigned to the lag winner, and remains so for the match duration.

Well, no. The winner of the lag decides who will shoot first, and the player who shoots first has the white ball.

Each player keeps their CB for the entire match.
