I am not sue what you call "real 8ball", but our rules are based on the offical rules of WPA

http://www.wpa-pool.com/web/index.asp?id=114&pagetype=rules#3.9

"If the shooter commits a foul, play passes to his opponent. The cue ball is in hand, and the incoming player may place it anywhere on the playing surface."

what planet are you from????? Behind the line only when moving the cue. Would never fly to move it all over the playing surface.

The rules have just been explained and a link has been given to the world pool website.

You may not play these rules in the pub but they are the rules of world pool.

moving the cue ball is allowed in american pool.considering this site is american it would make sense they use an american set of rules.

Well that is the problem right there. It is American.......

I don't think the sites American for some reason I seem to remember reading its based somewhere in Europe, The fact is the rules are based on WPA, World Pool Association and are the rules that you would see on the TV played by the pros. Which is blatantly the best rules to play on a global gaming website.

hungary

if you say so......easy way to play
