 This variation is appropriate for team as well as individual competition, and also used as a mutual practice game for both eight-ball and (because it integrates rotation strategy) nine-ball or ten-ball.In specific rotation or strict rotation, the ball's numbered value is counted for a score, but the order of balls "pocketed" must be sequential (and not simply struck first as in the standard game).If the lowest ball on the table is struck but a higher ball ends up being pocketed – such as in a combination shot – then that higher ball must be back on the table after the shot (including after the break); this is not a foul.
