GRADY’S NINE BALL RULES


It’s call shot but it is not necessary to call obvious shots.

Only one ball may be called on one shot.

If the called ball is pocketed legally, everything else that might go is good.

If a player misses a called shot, his opponent has the option of taking the shot or having his opponent shoot again.

Nothing spots up except the 9 ball.

If a player calls “safe” and inadvertently pockets a ball(s), his opponent has the option of taking the shot or having his opponent shoot again.

A player may not call safe and pocket a ball.

While this is not a foul, remember that the opponent will have “option”.

Players rack their own balls.

They may also have a friend rack the balls for them.

An opponent may not rack the balls.

The nine ball must be pocketed last to win the game.

Where not mentioned herein the general rules of pocket billiards shall apply.
