BRY2K 14 year member replies Answer has 12 votes. If you scratch on the break, any ball that drops into a pocket stay pocketed. Your opponent gets the cue ball in hand, places it behind the head string and takes the next shot.
The head string is typically indicated at the end of the table, opposite to where the rack is set, by the second small dot or diamond on top of the side rails. When playing eight ball, if you scratch on the break and pocket the eight ball, your opponent has two options -- re-break or shoot after re-spotting the eight ball behind the head string. The player can lose the game immediately if not only the cue ball is pocketed but also the 8 ball also goes in the pocket.
If the pocket in which the cue ball goes in is already filled with balls and cue ball cannot sink in then it will be still considered as a foul and result in a loss given the 8 ball also went in. If the 8 ball goes in the pocket which is filled with balls and cue ball is also potted in then the result will be the same, it would be loss of the rack.
As mentioned earlier the penalty of the foul depends on the type of foul committed and therefore it is necessary that before awarding the opponent the win of the rack it is a better idea to confirm if the opponent is really eligible for it.
The rack will remain open and ball type is not given to anyone. The opponent can place the ball anywhere on the table. The opponent gets the ball in hand anywhere on the table. Save yourself from unnecessary mess and decides the rule before playing the game.
