If you scratch on a brake the table doesn't receive any points either and the white ball is set back on the centre of the D. Scoring In English Billiards, scoring is as follows: A cannon: This is where the cue ball is struck so that it hits the red and other cue ball (in any order) on the same shot. On the brake, balls that are pocketed don't count towards your score and if no ball is pocketed the table does not receive any points.

Each player attempts to pocket their seven object balls (stripes or solids) followed by the 8-ball. If you sink a ball and scratch you only get half the points of the ball (rounded down) and the table gets 2 points. If you scratch by sinking the white ball the table gets 2 points and the white ball is placed on the centre of the D line. The table gets 1 point if no ball is pocketed on a shot, 2 points on a scratch, 4 points if you scratch by hitting the 8 ball and 8 points if you scratch by sinking the 8 ball. For example, if you sink the 9 ball you receive 9 points. The score you receive for pocketing a ball is equal to the number on the ball. The 8 ball can be pocketed but only when there are no other balls remaining. 8-ball is played with 15 numbered balls: one player must pocket the solid-colored balls 1-7, and the other the striped balls 9-15. Any ball can be pocketed except the 8 ball. Scoring: PLAYERS SCORE by pocketing balls. If your unsure where to start I'd start with this score limit combo and adjust from there.
