The new One Pool format includes these rules:

– After a dry break, the player can continue playing, but the score will be affected:

* It doesn’t mind if the player takes ball in hand or not.

* The player will score 2 points less.

* Maximum 8 points (10 – 2 points).

– For the break to be valid in One Pool 9 Ball: At least one object ball must either touch the head short rail  (the cushion on the side of the break) or be pocketed in one of the pockets of the head short rail as a result of a break
