9-ball is a pool game (pocket billiard) played with 9 object balls. When it was first introduced to the pool players' crowd, around the 20s of the 20th century, it has a somehow dubious reputation since it was attracting gamblers and hustlers. Since those wild days, 9ball reputation has improved and the game is played in respectable pool tournaments around the world and broadcast on TV often.
9Ball vs. 8Ball It is arguable whether 9ball is a more complicated game comparing to 8ball. Due to its status as the professional games, 9ball enjoys an image of less amateur game comparing to 8ball. However, it is argued that 9ball rules are simple to learn. Here you can find a simplified guide to 9ball pool rules.
9Ball Pool Rules• 9ball pool is a rotation game in which the lowest numbered object ball on the table has to be hit by the cue ball.
• The object of 9ball pool is simply to pocket the 9-ball. Just to emphasize, whenever you pocket the 9-ball legally, including during the open break shot, you win the game! (Unless the 9-ball has been pocketed on a foul).
• On the opening break shot, the breaker has to contact the 1-ball with the cue ball and/or send minimum 4 balls to the rails.
• The push out is a unique rule of 9ball:
• On the first shot following a legal opening break shot, the player is entitled to perform a push out shot.
• On the push out shot, the player must not cause the cue ball to hit an object ball or a cushion.
• The purpose of the push out shot is to improve the position of the cue ball.
• The push out shot can be performed only once. Afterwards, the 9ball pool game continues normally.
• Legal shot – the cue ball must first contact the lowest numbered ball on the table, pocket an object ball (regardless to its numeric value) or cause an object ball (or more) to hit a cushion.
• Fouls:
• The cue ball does not contact the lowest numbered ball on the table.
• Scratch (the cue ball is pocketed).
• Illegal shot (i.e., none of the object balls are neither pocketed nor hit a cushion).
• When a player commits a foul, his inning ends and his opponents gets the cue ball in hand.
• A player who commits three consecutive fouls will lose the game.
• The 9ball pool game ends with the (legal) pocketing of the 9-ball or with the loss of a game due to a commitment of three consecutive fouls.
