Score Tied after Scratch on Black Ball


Score Tied after Scratch on Black Ball

In snooker, what do players do when the game is tied up and a player scratches on the black ball?

In our snooker match, here's what happened:

  • Player A has 4 points
  • Player B goes to the table with the Blue, Pink, and Black balls left on the table
  • Player B sinks the Blue ball, then the Pink ball, and now has 7 points.
  • Player B, in the same run, scratches on the Black ball, leaving the Black ball hanging over a pocket and the cue ball in the pocket.
  • The game is now tied.

What do the players do next? Does...

  1. Player B take the cue ball from the pocket and shoot at the black over the pocket from within the "D", or
  2. The official (or the players) re-spot the Black ball and flip a coin to see who shoots next?

Hopefully someone can answer this question because our league is divided on the answer.

This question relates to the following billiard rules:
