Stalemate?
Not in chess, though, but in 8 ball or Blackball pool
I got into this situation where i had 2 red balls and he just needed to finish the 8 in Blackball Pool. The interesting part is that the 8 ball was right next to the pocket, and I set it up so the 2 red balls covers the whole pocket. (So if the red ball moves, the 8 ball gets potted).

There was no way for him to win unless he goes and pot the 8, but neither of us wants to hit the red balls (if I hit it, he wins, if he hits it, I win)

What I want to ask is if there is an option to rerack or get a draw when that happens, that would be great.

Any suggestions for other resolutions? Feel free to say it!

Thanks!
Stalemate is to claim the match draw between you an your opponent when the game duration goes for more than 10 minutes without pocketing any ball , this happens only in Bankpool as it is a difficult billiard game where you should put the balls indirectly by touching the rail first .

you can stalemate only when you have the same points or more than your opponent with only 1 point in the game part (1/3 Vs 1/3) or (1/3 Vs 0/3) .

You can also see Claim Victory ,only when you have 2 or points difference than your opponent (2/3 Vs 0/3) or (1/3 Vs -1/3 IN PRO RULES ) , in the same duration conditions.

I suggest you have too much time on your hands.

P.S  Which 1 of you gave in & failed? :p
the only 2 solutions are you use your 2 shots wisely and clear the reds and pot them or he hits yours and fouls and loses or he trys to clear yours away from the pocket.

the solution is 1 of you has to lose.

i've had a similar situation happen in 8ball but i used move and cleared and potted both mine.
Stalemate is to assertion the match draw between you an your opponent when the game length proceeds for more than 10 minutes without pocketing any ball , this occurs only in Bank pool as it is a tough billiard game where you should put the globes obscurely by touching the rail first .
