New WPA Official Rules of Pool … Learn About All the Changes

could not find how foul disputes are to be handled, when no referee is present. (Just that there are new rules on this.)
Say my opponent watches a close call. He is not neutral by definition. say my shirt came close to touching a ball while I was going down over a ball. The ball didn't move, it wasn't in any path of the shot. It's a close call. I say, I was above the ball without touching it with my shirt. He grabs the cue ball as ball in hand since he is referee and thinks he saw me commit a foul. (He "saw" me commit a foul earlier in the game when it definitely wasn't one. I hit the lowest ball first, but it was a very thin hit and he didn't see it.)

so what's the ruling here?

If I think my opponent made a foul and there is no referee present I will give him a look and ask if he is sure, it was a correct hit. If he sticks to his story, that it was no foul, I don't argue (since it's never worth it and I don't care.) On a close situation I will call a referee or some bystander to act as a referee.

There is some guidance on this in Regulation 5. Basically, if there is a disagreement and no witnesses, the benefit of doubt goes to the shooter. No foul.

History of Rich Cues

I spent the last four days getting my entire cue collection out to do an inventory. I unpacked them, but haven't even counted them. I ran into a few cues and cases I forgot I had. In addition to the 2 Pabst cues I posted earlier in this thread I have this one. It is model 76F from the 1976 catalog, in really great condition. I forgot I had it. I have several other Rich cues.
