the game is to easy with 2 shots on the black ive lost to many games because of that also when u have a foul the opponent whos fouled can put u in a snooker so u lose a shot why cant u move the white to the dee needs fixing

Its the game mate. People play there games there ways, just think i bet you have done it once to other people and they wouldn't like it so mate its just the game.

thats the rules of uk8ball mate.

thats the rules in real life if u dont like the rule then y not try us 8ball or 9ball

GO POT GO

LOL!

yeah i think that the rules should be exactly like real world pool rules...that way u dont get mixed up with the pub rules n stuff and people will know how to play it properly
arent they pub rules u are talking about cke

http://www.epa.org.uk/wrules.php

there are the uk world pool rules for u

and if you want see if US pool is more your thing : http://www.bca-pool.com/play/tournaments/rules/rls_gen.shtml

There are a few rules (like golden breaks) which are "Funkypool Rules", there have been many debates about such things, so rest assured everything is the way it is for a reason!

After all, you confirm to have read the terms and conditions (including the rules) when you sign up..

if the rules changed i lots of people would stop playin this site i like it the way it is and so does everybody else

lol i love the way the rules are at the moment...it would be good if u could set up the balls ur way

Why would it?

Personally, i think EVERYTHING is fine how it is.

Like a famous man said "if it aint broke, don't fix it"

WELL SAID

Honest, when i started playing funky just a year ago, this is the way it was...and still is.

Any veteran player won't want anything to change. 2 shots on the black is how i was brought up on here!

the rule is if they foul u can move the ball any where in the dee if pos not to good

Ok, anyone care to decypher that one? <confused smiley>

The rule is that if they foul, you can move the ball anywhere in the 'D', if position is not too good.

I don't know spinner, you understand machines that talk to you in logarithims, but not poor old nem and cke's abbreviations

It should also be noted there has never been a one-shot on the black rule despite popular belief

From wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eight_ball#Differences_between_UK_and_U.S.

we each play it different where we live

true - but most rules on here tie in with general national/international rules.

Where I used to live we had to nominate the pocket for the black before the start of the game, so your opponent always tried to leave one hanging over your nominated pocket

Outside of that one-horse town I doubt anyone plays that rule, so best to go with the mainstream.
