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!
Yeah sorry guys...I back checked it too...the rule was changed in 2009 already...

Thanks for correcting!
"When the table is “open”, any object ball may be struck first except the eight ball."

Moin Tobi. 
Koennen wir im 8 Ball in der Liga wirklich die 8 nach dem Break anspielen? War mir jetzt auch neu.
Nope in real rules u aren't allowed to play the 8 first.
It wasnt a foul in old version, dunno why it is now..
