One pocket action match for a few burgers and this controversy on a rule came up last night.
There is 3 balls left on table all in the behind the headstring. One of the balls is froze on the rail. Player A calls it frozen. Player B then shots a different ball than the one frozen and makes it. This ball was not close or was even close to impeding the frozen ball in anyway. Player B is still shooting then rolls up to the ball frozen and has a double kiss.
Player A calls that a foul as the ball was frozen. Player B says no, you didn't call it froze. Player AA did call the ball froze infront of everyone 20 seconds prior. Player B states you have to call it froze every shot.
What is the ruling on this? some at the scene said usually a referee would call it frozen some said it was a grey area that had to be addresses before the match.
to me it seems silly to have to call a ball frozen everytime when it has already been declared frozen and noting has changed that.
makes it worse has player B should
