Thanks. I wish Accu-Stats matches would follow WPA rules for 10-ball. They always let a 10 early count as a win. When the rules are relaxed too much, it just becomes 9-ball with an extra ball.
The recent Predator events have been that way too. I agree that the official rules are better.
@@DrDaveBilliards Not this year, they played the world 10 ball championship with respoted 10 and not a win.
@@3k2p6 Not all tournaments follow the WPA official rule of pool. I wish they did.
Thanks for explaining the official rules for 10 ball.
You're welcome. I aim to swerve. :)
❤️
I just saw this advertisement pop-up on one of my videos!
You do a great job, Dave
Thanks. I'm glad the UA-cam Algorithm knew what you wanted.
A pool hall in a different city than me does the rack of 10 ball with the 1 on top, 10 in the middle, and 2 and 3 in the corners. They also do a rule of no early 10s so if you combo the 10 it's a respot on the 10. Although some tournaments do the early 10 rule and the derby city big foot 10 ball tournament allows fluking
The number of rules variations is bit ridiculous, IMO.
@@DrDaveBilliards yeah I do agree with this. Like the international 8 ball rules that Ultimate Pool USA follows is the same as the British pool rules even though they are playing American pool
Good video, as usual. You included strategy in 9-ball and 8-ball, so I kind of missed it here as well, regarding how players actually don't explicitly call safe in 10-ball. They usually call something that might go, in case they make a ball and somehow wind up with a shot on the next ball, either as a two way shot, or by accidentally not being able to hide the object ball they hit and somehow make another ball.
Good point. I should have included that in this video. We cover that in VENT.
@@DrDaveBilliardscool. I see that so often in lower rated players - especially on kicks. They call safe, when they really should be looking for what might go.
This is great, Dr. Dave, I hope you do 14.1 as well! Also, that instructional video on folding laundry.
I plan to do one-pocket. I’ve already done a basic video on straight pool:
ua-cam.com/video/BgBiT4yVeJw/v-deo.html
Loving this series! Can you also do one pocket rules as well? And potentially other variations of pool?
One Pocket is up next. I should post it soon, so stay tuned.
I think I found something like a loophole in the 10 ball rules and wonder what you think about it.
In WPA Rules section 9.7 "Wrongfully Pocketed Balls" one of the conditions to hand the shot back is stated as "... or pockets another ball, ..." and it is not specified as "object ball" (where it is mostly specified in most cases). So in a theoretical situation where it benefits (i.e. next ball is surrounded by other balls and a foul is imminent) the incoming player could hand the shot back to the opponent when the opponent has scratched, which means "another ball" (in this case it happens to be the cue ball) is pocketed.
I couldn't find anything against this in the rules, but it will be very difficult to explain this in a real game situation :)
By the way I discussed this with a head referee of our national federation, at first he got confused naturally, but he agreed with me at the end since the rule refers to any ball, not object balls.
As I mentioned at the beginning, I really wonder your approach about this issue, since you are the most scientific person about pool that I know of :D
The rule should be clarified, but I think the intent is clear. “Pocketing another ball” in this context implies another object ball; otherwise, it would be written as “pocketing another ball or scratching.” But, again, I agree that the rule should be clarified to: “Pocketing another object ball.”
@@DrDaveBilliards Yes, I agree that the intent is not about a scratch and it should be clarified, also implementation of what I said is very absurd where the opponent is given a ball in hand after a scratch.
But it is not clarified and the existing rule didn't specify it as "object ball" where it is commonly specified mostly throughout the rules even it is not needed.
And I think this approach feels awkward, too, but also I think rules are rules and the rules does say "another ball" which includes the cue ball.
Very confusing :D
Nice break n run :)
Thanks. It wasn't perfectly played, but I got it done.
Love all your work Dr. Dave! Just a quick question, I thought that if you call the 10 ball and make it in your intended pocket, you win even if there are other balls on the table (and provided it was a legal shot)?
... not under the WPA "official rules of pool;" although, some tournaments make up their own rules.
Hey Dr. Dave, thanks for the informative video! I've played 10-ball before with "call safe" rules, where if snooker your opponent while you intended to pocket a ball and miss, then your opponent can give the shot back. Are these rules at all familiar to you? I had always thought they were WPA until this video.
I’ve seen that variation also, but it is not WPA “official rules.”
Okay now you gotta do one pocket
I will; although, I don't expect it to be viewed by many people.
Is it worth mentioning that at the Derby City Classic 10-ball, they do not require called shots?
Many tournaments make up their own rules, but they are not the WPA official rules of pool.
Do you have information to share for a pool on an English or snooker table? I would like to get better on those tables because they are very popular where I'm at. It's very hard to make rail shots and the cushions are different and perhaps the cloth.
Sorry, but I don’t have access to or experience with English or snooker tables, but it sounds like you are already aware of the important differences.
Hi Dr. Dave, hoping your well! This 10 ball rule about the 10 ball always being respoted until the end of the game , Has that always been the case ? I'm sure I can remember Efren playing a 10 ball match a few years ago and he called a combination on the red 3 to pot the 10 ball, The shot was played perfectly and Efren won the rack! Is this a new 10 ball rule potting the 10 only at the end of the rack ? Best wishes to you! Ian, UK
I played a couple small local 10ball tourneys and they allowed early called-10ball shots. I guess I best always ask before starting any 10ball games lol.
I'm confused.. I'm new at 10 ball .. I been told if you make 10 ball anytime during the game example 4 ball combination with 10 you win, but your saying it gets spotted.. anyone please.. or I been thought wrong.. please someone
Some tournaments allow an “early 10,” but it spots under the WPA “official rules of pool.” See Section 9 here:
wpapool.com/rules/
If possible, is it possible to make a video on wrist lock, cock, wobble, twist etc. I think wrist is the most important element. Thanks.
FYI, I cover this topic some here:
billiards.colostate.edu/faq/stroke/wrist/
"Official Rules of Pool"? I assume the quotes are meant as a qualifier? The BCA, owned by CSI, is a pretty common format, and for example, the back two balls in the rack must be the 2 and 3. Also, an early 10, if called, is a win.
Maybe, "The Official WPA Rules of Pool"?
The WPA rules are the official rules of pool. They are also published in the official BCA Rules Book. The BCAPL (owned by CSI), like all leagues, uses slightly different rules per the info here:
billiards.colostate.edu/resources/rules/rule-differences
@DrDaveBilliards seriously not trying to be argumentative, but who exactly decided on that title? Also, what major tournaments, like Derby City, use WPA?
@@MikeHughJass The WPA rules are standard worldwide and are used for most pro tournaments. Derby City is one of the few exceptions. I don’t know of a single other tournament that uses Derby City rules. The WPA rules are also published in the Billiard Congress of America”s official pool rules book.
9-ball is da best
Here’s my 9-ball video:

@@DrDaveBilliards i know
Is combination shot on 10 ball a win?
according to the video the 10 ball has to be the last ball on the table for a win. otherwise it gets spotted. you can call the 10 ball early, and if you get a legal hit and make the 10 ball, the 10 ball gets spotted but it's still your shot
... not under the WPA official rules of pool; although, some tournaments make up their own rules.
10ball is 20% harder than nine ball!!!!!!!!👍🏻
... plus a little more with the added difficult of the break and the more-stringent rules.
YOU FORGOT TO MENTION THAT A PLAYER, CAN NOT CALL TO POCKET TO BALLS AT THE SAME TIME. Saludos
That is true in any call-shot game. You can only call one ball.

Bob should have just called the 10 ball in the corner pocket. The game would be over.
He did call it, but under the WPA official rules of pool, the 10 spots. Although, he keeps shooting since he pocketed the called ball.
