Please feel free to leave input on this situation.......This happened not to long ago and still burns me........

Double hill in an 8 ball match.......Your on the 8 and the opponent has 7 balls left on table....He hooks you behind a mass of balls and there is no chance to kick........Jump shots are legal so you whip out the trusty jumper and jump the ball..........you hit the 8 clean and the cue ball bounces up and onto the rail....rolls down the rail about 8 to 10 inches and stops........ on the rail.........it was just sitting on the felted rail, not touching and plastic, wood or etc.....just the felt..........

Now, how would you (yall) would rule that shot...........

In this case the director ruled that the ball had left the playing surface and was a foul....but jumping the ball over another ball was not leaving the playing surface.......I went berserk......but apparently that's the rules......

thanks

Yeah I see it as a fould also, now if the ball would have rolled back onto the table it would have been a legal shot/hit.

Damnit Dawson that's why you play 9 ball LOL, but if you play 8 ball you've got to run the table! If you don't run the table than you leave yourself defenseless like a 12 year old girl! So your solution to this problem play 9 ball or break and run at 8 ball LOL! That will be $20 you can put it in my paypal account!LOL

If it wasn't a foul what would you suggest you do with the cue ball.
Jumping a ball is above the playing surface not leaving it. Ball on rail is leaving it.

i see it as a foul too. is he going to shoot off the rail? it left the legal boudaries of the table. it's a foul

true....that is what i came to the conclusion of after the fact and realized it.....others kept arguing over the fact that the 8 did drop which was a win and the opponent was not entitled to a shot....but i guess it was just one of those weird situations.......
