Chinese Eight-ball - Winning and Losing

Winning and Losing

Scratching while shooting the 8 ball does not result in a loss of game. The balls are replaced according to the foul rules stated above.

Sinking the 8 ball through an illegal or foul shot, or when one has not yet pocketed all of one's object balls, does result in a loss.

The winner of the game is the one who successfully pockets the 8 ball with a legal shot.

    There is evidence that all too many people are approaching parenthood with a dangerous lack of knowledge and skill. The result is that many children are losing out on what ought to be an undeniable right—the right to have parents who know how to be good parents, parents skilled in the art of “parenting.”
    T. H. Bell (20th century)
