		Balls may bounce on the cushion tops and rails of the table in play without being jumped balls if they return to the bed of the table under their own power and without touching anything not a part of the table.
		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.
		The object balls are racked in a diamond shape, with the 1-ball at the top of the diamond and on the foot spot, the 9-ball in the center of the diamond, and the other balls in random order, racked as tightly as possible.

		Please Note: The incoming player has cue ball in hand behind the head string and may not shoot an object ball that is behind the head string, unless he first shoots the cue ball past the head string and causes the cue ball to come back behind the head string and hit the object ball.
		An object ball is considered to be illegally pocketed when (1) that object ball is pocketed on the same shot a foul is committed, or (2) the called ball did not go in the designated pocket, or (3) a safety is called prior to the shot.

		CUE BALL: The solid white, unnumbered ball that is struck by the cue.
		Also, a cue ball that continues to move around the table after contact with an object ball is said to be "alive" (as opposed to a dead ball).
		A throw shot is often employed when object balls are "frozen." By applying english to the cue ball, the first object ball struck rubs against the second, and is sent on a path ("thrown") in a direction, determined by the spin on the cue ball.

	Jitterbugging Cue Ball! (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		First, remember that when the cue ball hits an object ball there is a transfer of energy (or momentum) from the cue to the object ball.
		If you hit the object ball on the table above hard and rather full, the cue ball stops and spins in place until the friction of the cloth causes the forward spin to carry the cue ball forward again.
		Since the object ball was so close to the top rail when contact with the object ball was made, the cue ball does not have enough space to pick up speed.

	Deflection
		Whether through misinformation or as a result of not educating the new generation of pool players, deflection has now become falsely understood to mean the deflection of the cue shaft away from the cue ball as it strikes it or even the flexibility of the cue shaft itself.
		Cue ball deflection occurs when the cue ball is struck off-center as when English or side spin is applied to the shot.
		Cue ball deflection will vary from very little (1/8 of an inch in the span of 8 feet) to a whopping 1 1/2 inches in the same span.

	Nine-Ball Rules
		On each shot, the first ball the cue ball contacts must be the lowest numbered ball on the table, but the balls need not be pocketed in order.
		If on the break shot, the breaker causes an object ball to jump off the table, it is a foul and the incoming player has cue ball in hand anywhere on Diagram 21 the table.
		On a push out, the cue ball is not required to contact any object ball nor any rail, but all other foul rules still apply.

	8-Ball Rules
		When the breaker fails to make a legal break, it is a foul, and the incoming player has the option of (1) accepting the table in position and shooting, or (2) having the balls re-racked and having the option of shooting the opening break or allowing the offending player to re-break.
		This means that the player can place the cue ball anywhere on the table (does not have to be behind the headstring except on opening break).
		Combination shots are allowed; however, the 8-ball can’t be used as a first ball in the combination unless it is the shooter’s only remaining legal object ball on the table.

	Straight Dope Staff Report: How does a coin-op pool table know to return the cue ball when you scratch?
		In the case of tables using oversized cue balls, the cue ball is typically 2-3/8 inches in diameter, or about 1/8 inch larger than the other balls.
		Magnetic cue ball return systems rely on a magnet embedded in the cue ball that triggers a sensor as the ball rolls down the return chute.

		Swerve is the tendency of the cue ball to curve slightly in the direction of the applied sidespin, like a mild form of masse.
