In Call Shot, obvious balls and pockets do not have
to be indicated. It is the opponent's right to ask which ball and pocket if he
is unsure of the shot. Bank shots and combination shots are not considered
obvious, and care should be taken in calling both the object ball and the
intended pocket. When calling the shot, it is NEVER necessary to indicate
details such as the number of cushions, banks, kisses, caroms, etc. Any balls
pocketed on a foul remain pocketed, regardless of whether they belong to the
shooter or the opponent.
