RACKING THE BALLS
The balls are racked in a triangle at the foot of the table with the 8 ball in the centre of the triangle, the first ball of the rack on the footspot, then a stripe ball in one corner of the rack and a solid ball on the other corner.
The player breaking plays the cue ball from anywhere behind the headspot.

RULES
To execute a legal break the player must:
1 - Pocket a ball or
2 - Drive four numbered balls to the rail. If he or she fails, the opponent has the option of shooting or re-racking and re-breaking.

If a player fouls on the break, balls remain pocketed and the table is open. The incoming player shoots the cue ball from behind the head spot.

Al shots are called. Failure to call shot or any other foul results in end of break. There is no two shot penalty an the oncoming player shoots the cue ball from where it lies.
