Always call a ball in 10b...

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.

It's a good skill to have to, I won a match on Sunday by intentionally missing a shot by a hair.

So what gives?
Looks like some of the referees don’t know the rules? (It should be on the spot)
