I would say that once a ball is potted, you CAN NOT speak to your partner until the opposition are due to be at the table. You can speak to your partner in between visits though.

Also surely it must be alternate breaks. e.g Player A from team 1 breaks first, Player A from team 2 breaks second, Player B from team 1 breaks third and Player B from team 2 breaks fourth and so on.

Hope this all makes sense.
