 World Standardized Rules
All jumped object balls are spotted (except in 8 and 9-Ball) when all balls have stopped moving.
If the balls are moved (or a player bumped such that play is directly affected) by a non-player during the match, the balls shall be replaced as near as possible to their original positions immediately prior to the incident, and play shall resume with no penalty on the player affected.
An object ball is not considered frozen to a cushion unless it is examined and announced as such by either the referee or one of the players prior to that object ball being involved in a shot.

 Canadian Poolplayers Association - 9-Ball Official Game Rules
Example: If the 3 and 9 are made on the break, the balls are reracked (because a 9 on the break is a winner) using the 10 and 11-balls.
If the ball is pocketed, it is permissible, though not recommended, that the sitting player allow the shooting player to continue shooting until he feels inclined to call the foul.
If two balls are knocked on the floor, they are placed in numerical order with the lowest numbered ball closest to the foot spot.

A legal shot requires that the cue ball's first contact be with the lowest numbered ball on the table.

When the ball touches a spectator in either of the above cases, if the referee is in doubt, the award shall be made to the visiting team if that team is the defending team under (i) or the attacking team under (ii).

I beat him 3 times at nine ball and 3 times at 8 ball, and all he said was "You're getting better." I found it funny that he could barely set up shots in our games of 9 ball when he claims it is for wanna-be's.
The idea is that, and it's funny that Grady Mathews is mentioned, because it was he himself on my Bustamonte/Remepe 9 ball US open tape from Accustates where Grady mentions how all of the top players find their way to the final cuts.
The 'strategy' in 9 ball is to pocket the balls in rotation and if you don't have a shot play safe and try and hook your opponent.

A cue ball with neither forward nor reverse spin which hits an object ball WILL move away from the collision at a 90 degree angle.
A cue ball which hits the object ball with a forward roll (called Follow) will move away from the collision at an angle less than 90 degrees (more forward).
By Self-Correcting, I mean that if your cue ball hits your target diamond with the same "three rail speed" and the same amount of Running English each time you attempt these shots, the rails will maintain the proper english because of your consistent speed.
