There, they must compete in Death Games with their souls on the line, the results of which reveal what secrets led them to their situation and what their fate will be afterwards, with the arbiters judging if their souls will either be sent for reincarnation or banished into the void. Whenever someone dies, they are sent to one of many mysterious bars run by bartenders serving as arbiters inside a tower in the afterlife. If the player pockets the 8 ball and commits a foul or pockets it into another pocket than the one designated, the player loses the game. The oldest document to bear the word croquet with a description of the modern game is the set of rules registered by Isaac Spratt in November 1856 with the Stationers' Company of London. Internationally, the World Pool-Billiard Association and the World Eightball Pool Federation both publish rules and promote events. One of the reasons why choosing the ideal pool cue is so vital is that you end up with a pool cue you're comfortable holding and carrying. The shooter fails to strike one of their own object balls (or the 8 ball when it is the legal ball) with the cue ball, what is billiards before other balls are contacted by the cue ball.

On the break shot, no balls are pocketed and fewer than four balls reach the cushions, in which case the incoming player can demand a re-rack and take the break or force the original breaker to re-break, or may take ball-in-hand behind the head string and shoot the balls as they lie. Because of this, it is possible for a game to end with only one of the players having shot, which is known as "running the table" or a "denial"; conversely, it's also possible to win a game without taking a shot; such a scenario may occur if the opposing player illegally pockets the 8 ball on any shot other than the break (such as sinking the 8 ball in an uncalled pocket, knocking the 8 ball off the table, sinking the 8 ball when a player is not yet on the black ball, or sinking both the 8 ball and the cue ball off a single shot). If an attempt is made to pocket a ball, and the ball hits the pocket, bounces out and lands on the ground, the ball is placed in the pocket and the game continues. If the player knocks the 8 ball off the table, the player loses the game.

The shooter shoots the black 8 ball without designating the pocket to opposite team members or the match referee in advance. The shooter deliberately pockets the opponent's balls while shooting the 8 ball. The rules of blackball differ from standard eight-ball in numerous ways, including the handling of fouls, which may give the opponent two shots, racking (the 8 ball, not the apex ball, goes on the spot), selection of which group of balls will be shot by which player, handling of frozen balls and snookers, and many other details. This type of shot is known as a combo shot or combination shot. The hybrid game eight-ball rotation is a combination of eight-ball and rotation, in which the players must pocket their balls (other than the 8, which remains last) in numerical order. 1⁄16 inches (52 mm) in diameter, the latter being the same size as the balls used in snooker and English billiards. This time or persistence to be excellent may possibly be looked upon as being addicted to the game.
