Scratch Break Rule Change For EightBall

The BCAPL always has a few rule changes every year.  Some are clarifications, some are down right changes

Starting June 1, 2010, the BCAPL announced this rule change:

"8-Ball: The penalty for any foul on the break has changed from ball in hand in the kitchen to ball in hand. Rules 2.3.3(b), 2.3.4, 2.3.5, 2.4.2(a), and 2.4.3 have been changed and consolidated to reflect the change."

I am VERY excited about this rule change!  You mean I can now get BIH if my opponent scratches on the break in 8ball?  Really?  Wow - that's a huge advantage for the incoming player.  I am excited! 

I should practice my Break-ball-in-hand-runouts!  :)
