Welcome to the billiard, pool, and snooker glossary of terms. This is the definition of Fault as it relates to cue sports. You can also view the entire billiard dictionary.
A fault is essentially a foul in various cue sports. The term is used mainly in British billiard terminology. The term fault is used less and less as time goes on, as the more common term, foul, tends to take its place. The WEFP Blackball rules and the WPA both use the term foul in place of the term fault in modern correspondence.
