Z asked:

In pocket billiards, are you allowed to hit your opponents ball to help knock the eight ball in at the end?

ninja asked:

I’ve been playing billiards with my friends at school but we don’t have a really good understanding of the rules. Hopefully if you guys could, provide me with a simple explanation of some of the rules cause the ones online have been hard to understand. Clarification for 8 ball

If a player hits the cue ball without striking any balls, this is considered a scratch correct? any exceptions?

If a player hits the cue ball striking the suit that is not his first, then it is a scratch?

When a player scratches, they are allowed to place the ball anywhere on the table correct?

Is it a scratch when the player hits the 8 ball first when they have other balls that they shoudl be trying to hit first?

If these are too hard to understand (sorry), coudl you just explain to me what is considered a scratch and any exception to that? Also the placement of the ball when a scratch occurs.

Thanks for the help

I saw someone at the store wearing a black hoodie with Poker cards, I think it was a Royal Flush and 8-ball on it. My bf loves poker and billiards and has both tables at his place. He also loves wearing his hoodies and I know he’d love that as a V-day gift. Does anyone know where I can find that? I’ve been searching the net but to no avail. Maybe I’m not looking at the right places?
