I think of the break as a skill set, so why have rules, and so many rules, restricting the break?

What is considered a Soft Break though? Is that up to the Ref to decide? If he gets a certain amount of balls, up table (or whatever the rules say needs to be done), then why is it still considered a soft break? I am just trying to understand. Is Soft Breaking all based on opinion? Why not just have set rules, which none are based on opinion alone?

That’s the issue..it’s so simple to say ok the eye test says thats a soft break so you get a warning and now we monitor your speed for the rest of the match if gots below a certain number it’s a foul. So I agree the rule is to erroneous and can easily be fixed with an app we all have on our phone.

I think there are restrictions in place in some countries about alcohol advertising. I think that means Matchroom would not want them as a title sponsor, and maybe not as any level of sponsorship. The ban is not as extensive as on tobacco, but it could still be a problem for global viewing. Probably wouldn't fly in Saudi Arabia, but that's irrelevant now.

then don’t do it for your 1 Saudi tournament. 1) we can’t turn down any sponser 2) don’t let those slave owning women hating religious wack jobs run your sport. No matter how much money they have.

Off topic, can you try this 4 rail shot on both of your tables? Especially in the basement with the dehumidifier off? The 3rd rail contact point can be on either side of the side pocket. Feel free to move the balls around as you see fit for the best chance to make the 4 railer.

They used to play this all the time in one pocket where close was the intent. That was Brunswicks. Diamonds are no doubt more favorable.

The ONLY place on the table you don't concede when giving up BIH

Because then he puts the cue ball on the side pocket shelf and shoots the nine straight into the upper right corner. :ROFLMAO:

Bob this came up tonight. Player has BIH and does exactly what you are saying, putting the CB inside the pocket on the shelf to shoot outwards on a ball. Suppose while placing the CB there while the player still has it "in hand", he drops the CB in the pocket and it scratches. No ball is touched. Is it a foul? We were split at the pool hall. I said no foul.
