  • Foul question

    I saw this question:
    "if you miss a red hit a blue then the white hits the black. What is the foul value?
    5 because you hit the blue first
    If the black goes in would it then b 7? No it’s the first ball the white hits. Doesn’t matter what happens after that"

    I am sure this last bit is incorrect; if the black is pocketed, the penalty would be the greater value of the two instances, so the penalty points would be 7.

    I am going to say that the initial statement is correct , as the foul was on the blue and that is the first foul . So would assume that whatever happens after that doesn't matter .
    Still trying to pot as many balls as i can !

        scenario 1 - Missed ball on, hit Blue (a foul), then hit black (not a foul) - penalty 5
        scenario 2 - Missed ball on, hit Blue (a foul), then hit black and pocketed it (a foul) - penalty 7
        forcing the black off the table is a foul and a greater value foul than the initial blue hit, so greater penalty


        Rule 3.10 Penalties
        (b) value of the ball on or ball concerned, whichever is higher, by:
        (iii) causing a ball not on to enter a pocket;

          Its 7. Highest of the fouls in a single stroke.

            So that scenario only counts when the ball is either pocketed or leaves the bed of the table , and ends up on the floor .

              if you have multiple fouls in a single stroke, a penalty of four points occurs unless a higher value ball is concerned then the respective value is the penalty.

              hitting the black after the blue was not a foul, hitting the blue instead of the red was a foul

              pocketing the black is a foul, after hitting the blue which is also a foul but the black has a higher value so the higher penalty

                Correct. As usual!

                  Yes. The cue ball making contact with another ball after the first impact with a ball not on is irrelevant.

                  What happens after the initial contact with a ball not on only matters if a higher value ball is pocketed or forced off the table... or if the striker commits another foul (lie making contact with a ball not on with his cue, a rest etc).
