What happens if the last ball potted along with cue ball Yes, one can pocket his own group ball but the first contact must be with the opponent group balls. This results in shuffling of the groups assigned for the new game. The one who gets eliminated racks the next break while the winner becomes the breaker and runner up gets the second turn. The turn sequence for the next game depends on the result of the previous. WHAT WOULD BE THE TURN SEQUENCE FOR NEXT GAME So no one loses the game until there is the last ball remaining on the table belonging to some player. In this case, the player who was eliminated returns back to the game and his turn number would be the same as before. Yes, in case of a scratch, one ball each of the opponents will be placed back on the table. CAN A PLAYER WHOSE ALL BALLS ARE POCKETED CAN RETURN? The foul committing player ball will remain pocketed and the turn would be passed on to the next player. CAN YOU POCKED YOUR OWN BALL FIRST WITHOUT CONTACTING OPPONENTS’ BALL This selection is done by the foul committing player himself. However, while playing cutthroat pool on coin based pool table where you cannot spot the balls because they are locked, in such a case, the player who commits the foul one of his ball would be pocketed. In a case, where no ball was potted the penalty of the foul would not be carried on. In the case of a scratch, the player who committed the foul will not only lose the turn but also one ball each of the opponents would be placed backed on the table if they were potted. In case a player scratches and opponents return onto the game then the same turn pattern would be followed as it was at the beginning of the game. WHAT WILL BE THE ROTATION ORDER IF OUT PLAYER REJOINS The turn will remain with the player and he can resume the turn trying to pot the opponent balls. WHAT HAPPENS IF SOMEONE POTS HIS OWN BALL ON BREAK In case, the first player fails to do a legal break the turn gets transferred onto the second player who has the option to either take the shot from an open break or ask for a new rack. The player who has the first shot is obligated to either play an open break or pot at least one ball with the break. In the case of three players, ball numbered 1 is placed on foot spot or on the head of the rack, ball number 6 and 11 are placed on the remaining corners of the triangles. In case there are 4, 6, 7 or some other number where it is difficult to allocate 15 balls among the players then by mutual consent extra balls can be removed or added to create equal groups among the players. ![]() In case of three players groups are: 1-5, 6-10, 11-15 This is how the balls are divided into groups: The player who has the second turn picks from the remaining groups and third is left with no choice but to accept the group left on the table. In case, it has to be decided after the break then the player who opens the rack and pots the first ball has the freedom to decide which ball group he would like to pick. It can be decided prior to the game or after the game has started. This has to be decided among the players themselves. Yes, it is also sometimes referred to as elimination but it is not the right name because players eliminated from the game can return to the table if opponent scratches or does a foul. So the player cuts his own throat in order to remain on the table. The name is quite cruel and called cutthroat because often during the game a player has to pot or sacrifice one of his own balls to continue the turn and pot the opponents’ balls. The player whose all balls are potted is eliminated from the game and the player who has his own group of balls only remaining on the table is the winner of the game. ![]()
