| I have never seen this happen, but last week, we almost had a game which was a draw. What is the exact ruling on a draw? I assume it is when one player refuses to shoot his shot and picks up the cue ball and hands it to his opponent & then the opponent doesn't want to shoot either & hands it back to him (or her). Does handing it back & forth like the above example constitute a draw, or does it have to happen 3 times, 4 times... what is the ruling? |

Yes I realize that part, but my question is handing the ball back the 2nd time is it a draw? Or does it take more than that? Or do both players just have to agree that it is a draw? |

The game is stalemated when neither player can/wants to make use of ball-in-hand.

I always thought that they blind folded the participants, gave them each a cue ball, and whomever came closest to drilling their opponent in the head from 20 yards could force the other to shoot. Guess that's why they got a rulebook...
I think the worst time to have a heart attack would be during a game of charades... or during a game of fake heart attack. |

No T it is with dueling pistols in a crowded bar.
There are no stupid questions except the one you just asked. |

OK, Thanks... who breaks the next rack, after the stalemate? |

In 8-Ball, it's as if the game never happened. The same player breaks. On the scoresheet, the innings and defensive shots should not be counted in the totals.
It's a little different in 9-Ball, although it is extremely rare for a 9-Ball game to be stalemated. If it ever happens, everything counts up to that point and the remaining balls are marked dead. The player who made the last point breaks the next rack.

| I felt like I was in the twilight zone Monday night at pool. I read this post Monday and that night we had a stalemate 8-ball game. The first I have ever seen. Very strange. |

Another strange story, just a few days after I posted this, I was playing in a mini tournament, with $ome friend$... we were playing APA rules and I had a stalemate game as well, it was my first ever. |
