We're about to have an 8 Ball pool competition at work and I want to clear one particular rule up if possible.
Do you have to nominate a pocket when you are on the 8/black ball. I've had a look at the updated world 8 ball pool rules from here but can't find anything which suggests that you do. I'm not interested in variations that can be played (because I know some people do play nominate a pocket), just the official 8 ball rules, I guess as played in big tournaments.
Does anyone know what the official rule is for nominating a pocket on the black?
(already had a quick Google and couldn't find anything useful)
