As of the 2024-2025 season, an 8 ball break no longer counts as a win. The breaker still earns $5 for a successful 8 ball on the break without a scratch, however, now the breaker has the option to spot the 8 ball and play the table as it lies, or re-rack and break again (without the option to earn another 8 ball break or table run.). Additionally, if the breaker fails to make a legal break on their second break and the opponent takes the break, they do so without the ability to earn an 8 ball break or table run. A secondary table run is also not available to either player in this situation. Lastly, making the 8 ball on the break and scratching is no longer a loss of game. Instead, the opposing player can choose to spot the 8 ball and play the rack, or re-break WITH the opportunity for a table run or 8 ball break as with any re-break due to an illegal break.
