What happens when you hit the 8 ball in on a break?
Answers:
What makes some cues such as schon so expensive?
I'm going to copy and paste a portion of one of my previous answers to this question:"On bar tables, an 8-ball on the break is usually considered a win only because the ball cannot be re-spotted. For professional play, under IPT rules, an 8-ball on the break is also a win. Under BCA rules, the 8-ball on the break is not a win, nor a loss, nor a foul. The breaker may either have a rerack, or spot the 8-ball and continue play from where the balls lie." M.D.-BCA Instructor/Referee.

If you're playing 8-ball, you automatically win. If you're playing 9-ball, nothing.According to the Billiards Conference of America, in the World Standardization Rules, as of January 2006...
8-BALL POCKETED ON THE BREAK
If the 8-ball is pocketed on the break, breaker may ask for a re-rack or have the 8-ball spotted and continue shooting. If the breaker scratches while pocketing the 8-ball on the break, the incoming player has the option of a re-rack or having the 8-ball spotted and begin shooting with ball in hand behind the head string.
Some other tournaments and leagues have house rules that say the person is the winner if they sink the 8 ball. This rule came about from playing in "token" tables, where if you sunk a ball, you couldn't retrieve it without paying more money. That person would "win", and thusly, the next challenger would pay to have the balls taken out. (i.e. quarter on the table).
Other than people's own personal preference, there are no standardized rules that state that a person who sinks the 8-ball on the break loses.
rerack or spot the 8 and keep playing

You NEVER lose. According to both BCA and ACS standards, when the 8-ball is made on the break, the shooter has the option of either spotting the ball and taking another shot or getting a new rack and rebreaking.
