Knocking the Red Ball off the Table

Knocking the Red Ball off the Table

In three-cushion carom billiards, what happens if you cause the red ball to leave the table?

For example. if you knock the red ball off the table and make the point, does the point count and the player shoots again?

   Whenever you knock out a ball, no matter which one, the point will not count and it's your opponent's turn to play.

   Depending on which ball(s) are off, they will be re-spotted on the predefined spots.

   Also, when one of the balls jumps up on top of the cushion and rolls back on the table again, the point will only count if that ball did not touch the wood around the cushion.
