    When the last red is potted it stays down. And, because the cue ball going in as well, it is considered a foul stroke, four points away, and the yellow ball is then played ball-in-hand.

    A free ball would only come into effect if the next player were unable to see the yellow full-ball from hand. In which case they could play any other color as a free ball for two points followed by the yellow if the free ball is potted.
