2.4 One Pocket
Each player chooses one of the two corner pockets at the foot of the
table. Whoever makes eight balls in their pocket first wins. If you
make a ball in your pocket and one in your opponent's, you each get
credit for a ball. If you make a ball in an unassigned pocket, it gets
spotted either when you miss or when there are no other balls left on
the table. If you foul, you spot any ball made on the shot plus a
penalty ball. If you make a ball in your opponent's pocket and scratch,
it does not count for him, but is spotted along with a penalty ball.
You only shoot again if you make a ball in your own pocket.
