1-15 8 Ball Rules for Sinking the 1 or 15 Ball in the Wrong Pocket on Break

1-15 8 Ball Rules for Sinking the 1 or 15 Ball in the Wrong Pocket on Break

We just began playing 1-15 8 ball.

One question I don't see answered is:

If the 1 ball goes in the wrong pocket on the break, the ball gets spotted, BUT does the breaker continue to shoot or does it pass to the opponent?

If yes, he/she would have low balls. The reverse would be true for the 15 ball.

Thanks.

This question relates to the following billiard rules:

    If you pocket 1 or 15 ball in the wrong pocket on the break, play passes to the opponent.

    Rack the 2 ball and 14 ball behind the 1 ball and the 15 ball.

    If the 1 ball goes in on the break, the 2 ball becomes the "solids" object ball. Same with the 14 ball, if the 15 ball goes in on the break.

    This is how I played in 1-15 pool tournaments in Seattle in the 1990s.
