It is the player winning the lag who will decide which player breaks. Two cue balls are used. Balls are placed on opposite sides of baulk adjacent to, but not touching, the side cushions. The objective of opposing players is to play their ball to directly strike the foot cushion before returning and coming to rest as close as possible to the baulk cushion.
The lag winner is the player whose ball comes closest to that baulk cushion. A player may lose the lag if, for example, his or her ball strikes a side cushion or drops into a pocket. The Rules of Breaking : The balls are racked as shown. The cue ball begins in hand. That means it can be placed by the breaking player anywhere within the baulk area.
On breaking at least one group ball must be potted or two object balls cross the centre string. That is a line joining the centre points of the two centre pockets. When two object balls fail to cross that line, and no group balls are potted, a standard foul is declared. If the cue ball is potted or driven off the table, then that too is a foul. More about fouls and their consequences in blackball pool below. Any fouls on the break are ignored if the black ball is potted.
If that happens the object balls are always racked again and the same player breaks. Determining Groups : In this game players do not nominate their group of object balls. The table is open after the break, and remains open until a player pots a ball or balls from only one group in a normal legal shot. The ball potted decides the group of that player.
However groups are not assigned if balls from both groups are potted on a shot, or on a free shot following a foul. Continuing Play : A player remains at the table while continuing to play legal shots, or until the frame ends. If a player does not pot any ball on a shot and no foul has been committed the incoming player plays the cue ball from its current position. If a player commits a standard foul, play passes to the opposition.
The incoming player then takes a free shot before continuing with his or her visit to the table in the normal way. That is provided of course the player does not commit a foul in the course of taking that free shot. A three-player match in which the objective is to keep your balls on the table.

This decision will be based on how easy the balls of each colour are to pot.
The aim of the game is simple — pot all of your assigned colours. And then pot the black. Potting one of your coloured balls results in you being awarded another visit to try and pot another. Fail to pot and your opponent comes to the table. And so it goes until one player has cleared their colours and downed the black. If you take a shot that misses one of your coloured balls deliberately… You lose the game.
Jump shots where the ball is sent up to leave the table before hitting a ball are also banned in English 8 ball. If both players are on form and playing well, fouls should be few and far between. But in reality, fouls are extremely common. This allows them to miss once and continue to play. But you can also win by default too….

The same is true if any foul is committed on the black. Even after potting it. And even if it is English 8 ball, there are variations.
