CONT

Au jeu du huit, chaque région ou même chaque salle de billard a des règlements différents. (...) Chaque joueur (ou équipe) doit empocher les billes de 1 à 7 (les basses) et l'autre les billes de 9 à 15 (les hautes). (...) Aucune erreur n'est permise sur la bille numéro 8. Donc, (...) un joueur (ou une équipe) perd la partie à chaque fois que, après avoir empoché toutes ses billes et étant rendu à la bille 8, il commet une erreur.
