Like it or not referees have to operate with what the rules are at the time. It is obvious that those two incidents shown were unintentional miscues, but they were scoops. I would say it's a good rule change, but the calls at the time were not incorrect.
How about, Chang Jung Lin losing $100,000 because he mistaking positioned the cue ball with the tip of the cue. Referee made the right call on an obvious mental blunder.

I believe you are talking about the miscue where the cue ball jumped over the OB. Not sure if there was any determination that his call was incorrect. Scooping the cue ball is a foul, whether intentional or error. Would be happy to read the rule change on that if you have it.

Black Ferrules

T411
Yes, black ferrules were pretty common on house cues in the ’60s and ’70s. About 18 years ago I had Al Romero make this cue and I requested the black ferrules. After he built it, it sat in his shop for a while before I picked it up and said that he had quite a few other requests for black when people saw it. I prefer a black ferrule.

You forgot when he unilaterally decided that a miscue was a foul, which WPA had to correct with a rule clarification last month.

Michaela Tabb (not an American, by the way - not sure what your issue is there) set the gold standard for pool referees. Hopefully Marcel can approach her level some day.

Houston in August? Nah.
Austin? Average high temp in August is 97. It's a dryer heat.
San Antonio? About the same as Austin for heat. I lived there for two and a half years. 80 one midnight in January. :eek:
How about Corpus Christi?

I'm guessing Dallas, if it goes to Texas.

It seems that there are no Vegas/AC-style casinos in Texas.

Do pool players even go outside? :)

Then who is? His "high profile screwups" are all with Americans involved ... JJ, oh he should have told him the clock was running. SVB, oh the great Doctor RECREATED a video where he developed scenarios that proved the call was wrong, even though Dr. Dave did not make any conclusion of his own per my memory AND the fact that Marcel was in the "correct position" to view the shot and DID review the ACTUAL video before finalizing the call. Then you have Sky questioning a double hit call, where the commentators seemed to agree with Marcel. And then the Yapp incident, where the 9 ball did not move or the movement would have defied the laws of physics IF it happened.

All the Dr. Know opinions that the 9 ball moved, but no slow mo, mo jo or whatever showed the cue stick touching the 9 ball.
