    The *exact* rules for games of the BCA are copyrighted, and should not be reproduced in electronic form without permission. See below for information on ordering copies and the World Pool-Billiard Association's site at http://www.wpa-pool.com/rules/rules.htm

    In almost every pool game, a shot that does not pocket a ball is required to have at least one ball contact a rail after the cue ball contacts a ball.

    ONE POCKET

    Each player chooses one of the two corner pockets at the foot of the table. Whoever makes eight balls in their pocket first wins. If you make a ball in your pocket and one in your opponent's, you each get credit for a ball. If you make a ball in an unassigned pocket, it gets spotted either when you miss or when there are no other balls left on the table. If you foul, you spot any ball made on the shot plus a penalty ball. If you make a ball in your opponent's pocket and scratch, it does not count for him, but is spotted along with a penalty ball. You only shoot again if you make a ball in your own pocket.
