Hi everyone,
I was playing a match against a friend and he was attempting to shoot with draw on the ball. Accidentally, he miscued as he was stroking under the ball and the ball was "scooped," jumped over his object ball and landed back on the table.
The CB continued into another ball of his, and proceeded to hit a rail. Therefore, other than the jump, the shot was legal.
I called it a foul, he (and most others in the pool hall) said that since it was unintentional, it was not a foul and I was to proceed.
All of the rules explicitly state that scooping is not allowed. However, I have never heard of someone "calling" jump. What do you guys think? Even after looking at the rules, I was not convinced.
