Error in 8-Ball rules!
There is an error in the 8-Ball rules. When the table is still open after the break you are allowed to play the 8 Ball first and pocket another ball. But in the game it is a foul. Please correct that!
It wasnt a foul in old version, dunno why it is now..
Nope in real rules u aren't allowed to play the 8 first.
Moin Tobi. 
Koennen wir im 8 Ball in der Liga wirklich die 8 nach dem Break anspielen? War mir jetzt auch neu.
"When the table is “open”, any object ball may be struck first except the eight ball."
