Take a scratch (v.) – - Billiards Dictionary
Take a scratch (v.) –
This is to intentionally foul by slightly moving the ball, or playing another type of illegally defensive shot in a game where the ball is just turned over to the other player. Like in one pocket, you still take the foul, but can leave the other player with a challenging shot.

I will be taking a scratch on that last shot.
