Opening Break


The first player who breaks is chosen randomly. The starting player gets the cue ball in hand within the Half Circle. He must cause the cue ball to contact a red ball.(It is not necessary to send a ball to a rail or into a pocket). Failure to contact a red ball is a foul (see Penalties For Fouls), and the incoming player has a choice of :
1) accepting the table and becoming the striker.
2) requiring the opponent to become the striker.
