-Black: 7 points

The player who is going to begin has to affect a red ball before. The white ball has to affect the red one. The white ball must not be pocketed.If the player pockets the red balls then he accumulates these points and his blow is valid following will have to be a ball of color. Otherwise he passes.

If there are several faults committed in the same blow, the opponent affects the points of the most important fault.

About is the fault, a minimum of 4 points is attributed.

At the end of party

When the only ball which stays in game is the black, it is  is pocketed further to a valid blow.
