The aim of kill the 8 is to sink the 8 ball as soon as possible, you don't have to sink your balls first
Play on protected unrated tables
You must bank the break, which means you have to rebound the cueball off one of the sides
You must move the cueball as normal when you break but after that there is no ball in hand at any time during the game
You must play as normal, in that - if you arent shooting directly for the 8 ball then you must hit one of your own balls. If you are on solids you shoot solids. If you are on stripes then you shoot stripes
If you fail to hit your ball first and one of yours drops when you arent shooting for the 8 then you turn over the shot with a tap - your opponent may NOT move the cueball
The 8 ball can be made in a number of different ways:
By directly shooting it in
By banking the 8 or the cueball
By bouncing it off a rail or another ball
By using a combo with the cue ball, yours and your opponents ball. (must hit your ball first)
Or by a straight fluke
