Seguin 8 Ball League rules
Official bylaws and rules loaded September 1, 2026This guide summarizes the supplied Seguin 8 Ball League Bylaws and Rules. Rule Desk uses those rules for common questions. For any situation not covered here, pause before the next shot and follow the Board’s official ruling.
Call every shot
Call the pocket, object-ball rails, and carom contacts. The friendly rail into a corner and rails inside the pocket are exceptions.
No safety play
A real attempt to pocket an object ball is required. Intentional fouls used as safeties can be reviewed by the Board and may cost a game or league eligibility.
Scratches and fouls
After a scratch, the incoming player places the cue ball completely behind the head string. Fouling while pocketing the 8-ball is loss of game.
Rosters and fees
Teams may have up to eight players. Lineups lock after week 8 without Board approval. Player fees are due by week 4, and teams pay a $50 weekly fee, including bye weeks to receive the win.
