Rule When the Cue Ball Double Kisses the Eight Ball

What is the 8-ball rule for when the cue ball double kisses the eight ball?

For example, if you call a pocket for the eight ball, and the cue ball double kisses the eight ball before it goes in to the called pocket, is it a win, or a loss?

This question relates to the following billiard rules:

    This depends on the rule format you are playing. In standard "call your pocket"/"call your shot" bar pool, this would be considered a loss unless you called for the double kiss (though, in certain ranks, the 8 ball must be potted clean). In most ball-in-hand/league rules, this would be an acceptable pot on the 8 ball for the win (as long as it pots into the called pocket).

    What is meant by the word "pots" (or "potted" or "pot")?

    Is potted the same pocketed?

    Sorry, I've been watching a lot of snooker lately. Potted is the same as pocketed, just the European term for it.
