Free ball
Free ball a situation where one‟s opponent plays a foul shot but leaves the cue ball in a position where one does not have a direct shot to the desired object ball. The referee awards a free ball, giving one the opportunity to nominate and then play another ball, which is then regarded as having the same points value as the desired object ball (billiards) (chambers. Sports factf.,2005, 538P.) Free ball in some ball games the restarting of the game after it being interrupted due to a violation of the rules (usually a foul), taken by a player from the team that did not commit the violation. In ice- hockey, roller (inline) hockey, and field hockey this is called a free hit, in soccer a free kick (which can lead directly to a goal as a direct free kick, as an indirect free kick it must be touched by another player before a shot is taken on the goal), in basketball, handball, and water polo a free throwing the reasons for a free ball and the correct way of its execution are written down in the rules of the respective sport disciplines.
