Paul, you will not find a rule on this, for there is no rule written for this when this happens. I presented a rule and opened this up for discussion a year and half ago. I had one positive response at that time. And now it has actually happened in a real game.
But, 1. there is more to it than just missing the whole rack on the break, for there are 2. illegally placing the cue ball for the break. 3. Double Clutch stroking the cue ball on the break are also other illegal scenarios that could cause an 'illegal break'.
I have put a lot of thought into this, and have suggested a writing for an upgrade to our Official OP Rules. But since I did not receive back any response I withdrew it from my 2.2 rule writing suggestion, in accordance with keeping less changes within our official rules.
In our official rule 2.2 which depicts the 'break', the final sentence reads;
' As long as a legal stroke is employed from behind the head string on the break, the incoming player must play the balls where they lie-there are no re-racks for a pocket scratch or failure to contact a cushion or pocket a ball on the break'.
There are 4 key eliminates in this sentence; legal stroke, behind the line, no-re-rack, & play balls where they lie. So from this we can derive to how I finished this sentence, which would be the opposite of the above final 2.2 sentence.
***When the cue ball is; illegally placed, illegally stroked, or does not contact the rack, it is a foul, and the breaker re-racks.***
There is one big problem with this: the WPA BIH behind the Line rule does not allow an opponent to "pre-warn" the shooter when they illegally place the cue ball on or below the head string. So the BIH rule needs to also be upgraded and go back to the way we as Americans grew up playing and also played BIH, or otherwise the new suggestive break rule writing will also be flawed. Whitey
