   This question has been asked previously.

   See: Scratch on 8 Ball in Last Pocket 8 Ball Rules for the full details and references to the relevant sections of the World Pool-Billiard Association rules.

   But in short, when you have sunk all of your object balls and are shooting for the 8 ball:

   • pocketing the 8 ball and scratching is a loss of game (in last pocket 8 ball as well as standard 8 ball in general).
   • failing to pocket the 8 ball and scratching is a standard foul in last pocket 8 ball, but you stay in the game. Your inning is over and your opponent has cue ball in hand anywhere on the playing surface.
