Pool billiards

In 9-ball pool, in which cases does pocketing a non-target ball cause an immediate break-winner for the player in turn – not in all, I suppose? 2001:999:584:2499:7B33:FC0C:6B04:761E (talk) 23:49, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You could start by reading Nine-ball. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots01:27, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Does that article answer the OP's question? If it does, you should point them to the exact section where the answer appears. If it doesn't, there is no point in citing the article. --Viennese Waltz 07:38, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Seems to me it does, but the OP should read it and draw his own conclusions. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots20:45, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Our article does not define or explain what a "(non-)target ball" and a "break-winner" are, which are terms I'm not familiar with. For that reason, I for one cannot answer the question based on the content of the article.  --Lambiam 00:14, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
"Non-target ball" is explained here [1]. 2A00:23C7:9CD1:3901:814B:BC3C:8CC4:37EF (talk) 15:59, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
