help Last pocket pool FAQ
What is the special rule in last pocket pool?
The eight-ball must be legally pocketed in the exact same pocket where the player sank their final object ball. Using a different pocket loses the game under the regional rule.
Is last pocket pool a form of eight-ball?
Yes. It uses the familiar solids, stripes, and eight-ball structure of eight-ball pool, but adds the last-pocket requirement for the eight-ball.
What happens if the eight-ball goes into the wrong pocket?
The shooter loses because the winning ball was not played into the required pocket. Players normally identify or clearly establish the target pocket before shooting the eight-ball.
Why do players use the last pocket rule?
It makes the final shot more demanding because the available winning pocket is fixed by the previous shot. That rule changes safety play and can make position on the final object ball especially important.
