Which rule set says you can't call safe. Just recently, my captain told me I couldn't call safe in 10 ball, but couldn't point me to a rule set that specifically prohibits calling safe in 10 ball.
That also applies in Ultimate Pool. You cannot make your ball and turn the table over. I like that rule. I don't have any big issue with the rule sets that allow it, but I definitely prefer the UP way.
That's how I feel. It's not a huge deal to me either way, but there is merit to APA/UP style where playing such a safe shot requires the dexterity of NOT making it but leaving the ball close to a pocket. It's a good skill to have to, I won a match on Sunday by intentionally missing a shot by a hair.
