Ok here's your starter for 10:

Facts:
- You are on stripes
- The 1 ball is hanging over the corner pocket with the 10 ball directly in front of it
- You call the 10 into the pocket, which is covered by the 1
- You play the cue ball onto the 10 which hits the 1 (hoping that the 10 follows it in)
- The 1 falls in but the 10 stops on the lip
- No ball contacts a rail

Question:
According to the rules is this is foul?

Answer coming soon! :-)

I would say if you were on stripes and you potted a spot, then it would be an automatic foul whether you called the 10 ball or not.

Unless it was the first shot after the break where it is still an open table until the first ball is potted after the break.

:-?

Without giving away the answer the first part of your answer (quoted above) is not correct. That's more akin to the rules of english pool, not american.

Using my limited knowledge of IPT rules, I would say yeah it is a foul, in normal play.

Judging by the comment in brackets, I am guessing this is at the open table stage? If it is, erm, I dunno lol. Maybe it isn't a foul at the open table stage.

I would think no foul as a ball has been potted and its just loss of turn..

Goon, you have to call a safety shot to prevent it being a foul.

Come on Riggers, is this your own rules you're coming away with here?

Spill the beans man!!

Bruno, I think the issue here is about a ball contacting a rail! its not a foul to pot your opponents ball and not one of your own, just loss of turn....

If I am on stripes (fact), I must pot a stripe otherwise I lose control of the table, unless I call safe. However, I've called a shot, not made it and nothing has hit a rail, it is a foul and my opponent gets cue ball in hand.

I think....

If, as the question states, the 10-ball is called, then it would be a foul, regardless of whether a rail was hit. So that would be loss of turn and ball in hand to the opponent.

If, however, the shooter called 'safety', then it would only mean loss of turn. ie. no ball in hand - the opponent would have to shoot from where the cueball lay. Again, it is not important that a rail was not hit.

Had the shooter potted both the 10 & the 1-ball, he would continue his visit to the table.

I think.

BS

Ok Goon and TheSurgeon were right. I suspect many people who know IPT rules quite well would have said it was just loss of turn. That would be the case if a ball had hit the rail. If you haven't legally potted the called ball in the called pocket you must hit a rail or it's a foul.

There were some other misconceptions posted too so I'll try and clear them up.

Calling safety or not calling safety will never be the difference between a shot being a foul or not. All the same rules apply when a player calls safety (e.g. it doesn't allow you to play an illegal shot and get away with it). Calling safety is simply the player saying that even if he pots the obvious ball in the obvious pocket (in this case it can be deemed the called shot) he is relinquishing his visit and handing over control. That's ALL safety means.

The other misconception is that it's a foul to pot your oponents ball. This alone is NEVER a foul providing you hit one of your own suits first.

Is it still ok to pot the opponents ball even if yours doesn't go in?

Yes it is. As long as you hit your own ball first, hit a rail, and don't pot the 8 ball prematurely there is no way you can foul (except obvious stuff like scratching, ball off table, shirt touching ball etc).

so just to make sure ive got this right, you can pot there balls at any time as long as u hit your own ball first and something touches a cushion. if you pot your own ball i take it you dont have to hit a cushion, and on a foul you dont get two visits but ball in hand anywhere on the table. is there anything else weird i need to know about.

Right so far. As far as 'anything else wierd you need to know about'... Here's a few other key points:

- 5 balls must hit a rail off the break
- You can't break from the sides, you have to stay between the 2 diamonds on the back rail.
- It's always an open table after the break regardless of what balls are potted - you are on a ball when you legally pot a called ball into a called pocket. When it's an open table you have the added luxury of being able to call say a stripe and hit a solid on to it to pot the stripe. Then you are on stripes from then on.
- Potting the 8 off the break wins the game
- Potting the 8 prematurely, in the wrong pocket, when scratching, or when making any other foul is loss of game
- You can't use jump cues but you can use a jump/break cue providing you don't remove the butt.
- On the EPT Phenolic tips are allowed but on the IPT they must be leather.

WPA rules allow you to pot an opponent's ball using one of your own in combination, there is no neccesity to hit a rail as well.
I am not convinced that you can't do the same in IPT.

According to the rules on their web site if you don't pot the called ball into the called pocket you must hit a rail or it's a foul. So can you call your opponents ball and play it as a type of safety shot? Remember, calling safety is not the answer as that doesn't allow you to foul. The question is whether the called ball in this case can you your opponents ball.

It is not clear if you can call your opponent's ball or not.
The rule says that you have to call the object ball but it doesn't distinguish between your's or your opponents.
