Hmmm.... that's not the rules we play... if you pot the black from the break, it's a foul break and you have to re-break... BUT there are a lot of variations on the game... the Americans(surpisingly enough
), for example, play a totally different game to everybody else...
In fact, since I've been playing the game (for the last 20 years or so) the club rules have changed several times... I still prefer the original rules we used to use...
