Hello I'm Richard on behalf of expertvillage.com I'm going to try to explain the three consecutive foul rules in the game of nine ball. Three consecutive foul rule is an optional type rule that is used mostly in tournament playing not so much in leisure playing or in lead play but, it is a rule I thought in requires some time to go over this. What it consist of is if you or your opponent convince three consecutive fouls it would be consider a lost of game. That is three different/ three consecutive times that you go to the table any you commit a foul, three scratches, or three times that you fail to hit the proper object ball or whatever may have happened. Now there is a few thing about this rule that remember that your opponent must notified you you may notified your opponent when you are in your second foul and once this consecutive has been broken then you go back being on zero fouls. In other words say the you commit two fouls but on your third time at the table you actually pocket a ball and you continue to run well that ends your strike that continues back to zero fouls as far as that goes and you must start over again. This only goes on one game at a time. It doesn't carry over to a consecutive game or anything like that.
