Uk 8 ball rules say you can choose to move the white ball anywhere behind the line if the opponent fouls or leave it where it is, why don't we have that option on here?

this rule only apply's when your opponent fouls and you can not see 2 sides of your colour (snoooked) but you get the option of the free ball so moving the white seems pointless in a sense

The official rules change more or less every year. Changing the rules on here every year would confuse me inside out, and having that option plus a carry from a foul would be too harsh on whoever fouled.

http://www.funkypool.com/viewTopic.do?topicid=10014 i agree with domi. i already started this thread and got shouted down but i still think it should be the rule. Surely not only nottingham has this rule in real pool?

need to remeber though its an online pool site "FUNKYPOOL" keyword funky :P , there for i dont see the need for this rule also as scaley said on the thread you made the rules change all the time , and as i said in the above post you get a free ball , you can do plenty of damage with out the white ball in hand

Its more fun the way it is.

Nuff Said.

I'd say leave it as it is. I would like to see the rack changed to the official EPA rack though. The one in the game isn't used any more except in BAPTO rules, which aren't that common.

omg, never seen that break before schuldiner. Replace the red on bottom row closer to the right, move it one to the left.

its now changed to blackball rules white ball anywhere behind line only 1 free shot and the white or a ball must hit a cushion after makin contact with a ball unless a ball is potted legally

Well, i was always guity of picking the rules apart in the past, but danclivo summed it up perfectly, the real rules change at least yearly and would just confuse things on here as the changes are almost always minimal.

Heres a good one though : http://www.funkypool.com/viewTopic.do?topicid=7585
