*COLORS*  (Q&A)

Incidental neutral balls don't need to be followed by the
companion ball if a point scores.  Incidental Point balls of
single colors spot unless the Black pockets.  Companion balls
that weren't pocketed consecutively after the first ball must be
followed by the Black ball. 

Q: I pocketed a neutral ball.  On the consecutive shot I pocketed
both the companion ball and incidently pocketed a neutral ball of
a different color.  Do any balls spot? 

A: No.  The consecutive companion balls scored a point.  Neutral
balls NEVER spot.  You may pocket ANY color ball next.  Pocketing
the companion of the incidental ball would earn a point. 

Q: I pocketed a neutral ball and 2 companion balls of a different
color were incidently pocketed on the SAME shot.  Do any balls
spot? 

A: No.  You receive 1 point for the 2 companion balls. 
(Pocketing more than 1 neutral ball on the FIRST shot is legal)
The companion ball could be pocketed on the consecutive shot for
a point. 

Q: I pocketed a neutral ball.  On the consecutive shot I pocketed
the companion ball and also incidently pocketed 2 balls with 2
completely different colors.  Do any balls spot? 

A: No.  A point was scored for the consecutive shot.  If both
incidental balls were neutral balls play continues.  If either or
both of the balls were Point balls you must pocket the Black ball
next. 

Q: I pocketed 2 neutral balls on the same shot.  On the
consecutive shot I pocketed the color Companion ball of one of
them.  Can I pocket the other companion ball to score another
point? 

A: No.  Pocketing the second companion would not be a consecutive
shot on the same color ball.  Any colored ball could be pocketed
next.  If the companion pockets next the Black 8 must follow. 

Q: I pocketed a neutral ball.  On the consecutive shot I failed
to pocket the companion ball and incidently pocketed both a Point
ball of a different color and the Black ball.  Do any balls spot? 

A: Yes.  You failed to pocket the companion of the first neutral
ball consecutively.  You will receive no point.  The Point ball
spots on the Foot spot and the Black ball on the Center spot. 

Q: I pocketed a neutral ball.  On the consecutive shot I failed
to pocket the companion ball but 2 companion balls of a different
color incidently pocketed on that same shot.  Do any balls spot? 

A: Yes.  You failed to pocket the companion of the first neutral
ball consecutively.  You will receive no point.  Only 1 of the
incidental companion balls will spot and becomes a Point ball. 

Q: I pocketed a Point ball.  On the consecutive shot I pocketed
both the Black ball and also an incidental Point ball of a
different color.  Do any balls spot? 

A: Yes.  You receive 1 point for the consecutive shot and also
receive 1 point for pocketing a Point ball on the same shot as
the Black ball.  The Black ball spots. 

Q: I pocketed 2 Point balls on the same shot.  On the consecutive
shot I pocketed the Black ball and also an incidental neutral
ball.  Do any balls spot? 

A: Yes.  You earn 2 points for pocketing the Black ball on the
consecutive shot.  The Black ball spots.  The companion of the
incidental ball could now consecutively pocket for another point.
