The object of 9-Ball is to pocket the balls in
numerical order. All games will be subject to a
10-min. time limit. At the end of 10 minutes, if the
game is not concluded, the Veteran who has legally
hit the most balls in is declared the winner of that
game. On each shot, the cue ball must first contact
the lowest numbered ball on the table. The player
who pockets the 9-ball on a legal shot wins.

Breaks: The first break is determined by flip of a
coin. The winner of the flip is the first breaker and
he/she must contact the (1) ball when breaking and
either pocket a ball or drive at least four balls to the
rail, without pocketing cue ball to achieve a legal
break. If the terms of a legal break are not met or
the cue ball is pocketed, the incoming player has
the cue ball in hand anywhere on the table. If the
breaker completes a legal break and makes a ball
while breaking, he or she will shoot again at the
lowest numbered ball on the table and continue to
shoot until missing, fouling or winning the game.

Fouls: All fouls carry the ball in-hand penalty anywhere
on the table. Fouls can only be called and
must be called before another shot is executed. The
following are considered fouls:

• Cue ball goes in the pocket or off the table.
• Any object ball jumped off the table.
• Primary contact with a ball other than the lowest
numbered ball on the table.
• During a shot, if the object ball is not pocketed
and no balls are driven to the rail after contact
with object ball.
• Pushes or double hits with object ball and split
hits (when you hit the object ball and another
ball at the same time).
