One Pocket Pool BCA rules
9 videos • 70 views • by Philly Fingers One-pocket is similar to straight pool in that a player can shoot at any object ball regardless of its color or number. Unlike straight pool, however, a shooter does not need to call their shots. Penalties for a foul are the loss of 1 point, re-spotting a previously pocketed ball if possible, and in the case of a scratch, the incoming player gets ball-in-hand behind the baulk line. Three consecutive fouls is a loss of game. If a player pockets an object ball in a pocket other than those at the top of the table, their turn ends and that object ball is respotted, unless an object ball is also potted into their designated pocket on the same shot. If the player pockets an object ball in the opponent's pocket, their turn also ends and the opponent earns a point.
