7 Ball Or 8 Ball?

[speacial147]

Yes, here in Australia If u 8 ball someone, it means u have potted all your balls + the back and your opp is left with 7 balls.

And at my local pub the rule is, if some1 8 balls you, you have to run around the table with you pants off. (Last time I saw this happen, the guy happend to get kicked out cause he was apparently to intoxicated, but all he could say was, 'but its house rules, i had to do that, i'm not drunk!!!!!!!')
Hahaha

Its always good for a laugh weather they do or don't do it!

hmm, interesting.....in american eight ball i have never heard of any term for such a situation

Wouldn't winning on one table visit be simply a "runout" and, from the break-off, a "break and run?"

Well, where i'm from in Australia, at the pubs if u 8Ball (or same as a runout) a person they call it a 8ball. As far as I no runout and 8ball is the same meaning, just comes down to which term is used most, and at a pub inviourment it seems to be 8balled over the term runout.

When playing at the local pool hall, a 8balled is also called a 'runout'. At the pool hall we tend to use the term runout over the term 8ball. We also use that term runout in 9-ball, when all the balls are potting by one visit to the table...
