Rules and history of 9 ball pool
9-ball is a contemporary form of pool, with historical beginnings rooted in the United States and traceable to the 1920s.
The game is played on a pocket pool table with six pockets and with ten balls. The cue ball, which is usually a solid shade of white , is struck to hit one or more of the other nine balls , each of which is distinctly colored and numbered 1 through 9.
In nine-ball, on all shots including the break shot, a player must cause the cue ball to contact the lowest numerical ball on the table first before the cue ball strikes any other ball and, except when a push-out has been invoked , either a numbered ball must be pocketed or any ball (including the cue ball) must contact a rail to avoid committing a foul. This does not mean that object balls have to be pocketed in order; any ball may be pocketed at any time during the game, so long as the lowest-numbered ball is contacted first by the cue ball. Because nine-ball is not a call shot game, the 9 ball itself can also be pocketed in this manner for a win at any time in the game, even on the break shot.
The person who pocketed in the 9 ball win if he did not make a foul
