  Eight ball
The balls in the triangle are pressed into contact with the head ball, and remain in contact after the triangle is removed.
The cue ball is placed anywhere the player to break desires in the "kitchen": the "kitchen" is the area between the foot string and its nearest short side (that is, the quarter of the table farthest from the rack).
Others play that the person with ball in hand may only place the cue ball in the "kitchen", and must shoot out of the "kitchen" before hitting any ball (that is, they may not shoot at a ball inside the "kitchen" directly).

 World Standardized Rules   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
The balls are racked in a triangle at the foot of the table with the 8-ball in the center of the triangle, the first ball of the rack on the foot spot, a stripe ball in one corner of the rack and a solid ball in the other corner.
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.

 Wikinfo | Eight ball
Eight ball is a billiards game played with a cue ball and 15 billiard balls on a pool table with 6 pockets.
Ball 8, though colored solid, is not considered one of the solid balls, as it's the final objective for both sides.
To start the game, the colored balls are placed in a triangle, called a "rack." The base of the rack is parallel to the short end of the pool table and positioned so the ball in the tip of the rack is located on the head spot.

 Eight-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 reracked and having the option of shooting the opening break or allowing the offending player to rebreak.
However, when the table is open and the 8-ball is the first ball contacted, no stripe or solid may be scored in favor of the shooter.
Combination shots are allowed; however, the 8-ball can't be used as a first ball in the combination except when the table is open.

 Chinese Eight Ball - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Even if a ball is pocketed, the table is still "open," which means that neither player is yet "stripes" or "solids." To determine which object balls you are playing, you must sink an object ball with a legal shot.
If the object ball is in contact with the cue ball when the shot begins, the player must hit away from the cue and strike it by banking off of a cushion.
The cue ball may not move before the object ball touches the cushion or it is a foul.

 Pinball Archive Rule Sheet: Eight Ball Deluxe
In 3 ball play the normal setup is that getting either C or D will spot both C & D. It can be set so that they must be gotten seperately.
In any case, if DELUXE is lit and the ball drains before completing it, 56k is added to the SB and the drop targets will be reset on the next ball.
In addition, if DELUXE is lit (by getting all ball targets and hitting the lit 8 ball), but is NOT completed before the ball drains, 56k will be added (and the drop targets will reset on the next ball).
