Why Pool Leagues Should Embrace “ALL BALL FOULS”

That’s not even close to being what this is 😂 again I speak from a place of experience with this rule from 30 years ago. theres a reason they changed the rules to you can move the ball back.
The point is, the rules of the game have never stopped someone from playing the game.

People try to make the same argument in golf with respect to playing the ball as it lies.

If you tell new players the rules, they'll play by the rules.

Why Pool Leagues Should Embrace “ALL BALL FOULS”

I will start by trying to convince VNEA to follow the new WPA rules (since I play in a VNEA league and know some of the leadership). There really are not that many difference, and the differences are small. I would think they would be proud to say (and market) that they are the first league to completely follow the official rules of pool.
Get the APA to agree to it and you might have some luck. I personally don't think it will ever happen.

Why Pool Leagues Should Embrace “ALL BALL FOULS”

After a 25 year break i came back to pool a couple years ago and just endured the worst bitchingest, whinefest, shark move infested league team ever and now Dr Dave wants to give clowns like that another excuse to create drama. Ill pass unless there are full time refs. First time I have ever disagreed with him on anything. And if As he says you can just say I didn't touch it then wtf is the point of a rule that cant be enforced anyway?

Tap actually is getting away from rules instead of going towards them. Example now as long as you jack up you cant double hit a ball according to TAP..

Rant over.

Why Pool Leagues Should Embrace “ALL BALL FOULS”

Which ones on the list do you think should be (or not be) allowed? Many of them seem like "ball fouls" to me.
None. I could make an argument about the ridiculous rule where the money ball is in the jaws of the pocket, and loss of game is called because the player didn’t mark the pocket, but, Christ on a bike, whatever the rules are, know them and abide by them, no excuses!
