   I assume you mean to ask:

   What happens if you pre-maturely pocket the 8 ball before you have potted all of your other object balls?

   In that case, the answer is, it depends on which rules you are playing by. According to World Pool & Billiard Association 8 ball rules, you lose the game.

   3.8 Losing the Rack

   The shooter loses if he

   • (a) pockets the eight ball and fouls.;
   • (b) pockets the eight ball before his group is cleared;
   • (c) pockets the eight ball in an uncalled pocket; or
   • (d) drives the eight ball off the table.

   These do not apply to the break shot. (See 3.3 Break Shot.)
