The player who committed the foul must therefore pass a ball from his pocket and put it back on. For a legal break to occur, at least one ball must pass over the center into the other half of the table. Premier League organiser Barry Hearn commented that "I am very disappointed and I can't understand why World Snooker hasn't discussed dates with us", while Higgins and his manager Pat Mooney threatened legal action over the ranking points situation. The object ball may not be played over a rail. If the lowest remaining object ball is in the kitchen and a direct hit is therefore impossible, this ball is placed on the foot spot. Balls to be re-spotted are always placed directly on the foot spot. Then the pocketed ball is re-spotted from the opponent’s pocket. The only exception is when an opponent’s ball is pocketed and a foul is committed, either by pocketing the cue ball or the cue ball flying off the table.

An inning ends when no ball is correctly pocketed, a foul is committed, or the score target is reached. Balls are always set up at the end of an inning. Intentional fouls are a common tactical tool in One Pocket. It is common practice, especially in gambler circles, to play One Pocket with handicaps to compensate for differences in skill levels.

The only exception to this rule is if a player pockets the last ball on the table without either player reaching his or her rack, all balls to be racked again are immediately racked and the player may continue his or her shot. Elements of their games go back to the eighteenth century before balls needed to be racked. In 9-ball banks, any nine balls are racked to form a rhombus, just like in classic 9-ball.

The player breaking always has ball-in-hand after his break, even if no ball went down on the break or even if the cue ball is pocketed. There is no ball-in-hand. As long as the lowest ball on the table is hit first with the cue ball and there is no foul, all balls pocketed on that shot count for the player whose turn it is. For example, it can be agreed that one player needs his eight balls normally to win, but the other only needs six (8-6) or the better player even needs to pocket more balls (e.g. 10-6). If more than the 15 available balls are needed to reach the draw goals, the player with the higher goal must re-set pocketed balls at the end of his shot until the goal is reachable for both players. Only one point can be scored per shot. But the scored points count, of course. In Full Rack Banks all 15 balls are built up as a triangle like in the classic 8-ball.
