Oops I did it again (Yapp's) foul in a final, a second time!

Bad reffing. Plain and simple. Yapp knew it. FSR couldn't see as he was seated behind Yapp. Ball path makes it obvious. If you slow down the vid to 0.25x speed, you can clearly see the 4 move first...if knowing the physics of the shot isn't enough for you.

Baffles the mind how a professional ref doesn't just think to themselves, "if CB goes this way, good shot, if that way, foul" before the shot is even taken.

Would've been nice to see Yapp call a foul on himself there. I get it, if ref doesn't call it, it's not a foul, and as a player you just take those when it's your turn. I know one thing for certain; Ronnie O'Sullivan would have called it on himself.

I don't think whoever was in charge of the tannoy helped, Yapp paused as he was clearly at the very least in doubt if it was legal or not, the crowd seemed to half clap as if they weren't sure either and then quite quickly it was announced over the tannoy that Yapp was the champion. The ref should have called it, but it's possible she wanted a second to think before making the decision and never really got a chance.

Raises the question: Should refs based calls on physics.

Of course. We do it all the time with double hits when the CB and OB are very close together. Just observe the path of the CB after collision. This situation with Yapp on the 8-ball is less obvious, but fundamentally no different. Knowledge of physics provides a definitive answer. And in this case, it was a clear foul.

Gambling room all but gone at the expo?

trob
I’m heading there tomorrow so this is from a friend who’s been there all weekend but the gambling room which used to be packed with bar box’s only has 1 bark box and a couple 9 footers ? While I’m fine with that because i think the gambling holds the game back to get bigger I’m wondering why that is? It was always a big part of the expo

I have the proof that the vault plate “and” silencer pad was present on the original shaft. It’s entirely possible that when I ordered the cue, the stock phenolic tip (my request) was replaced by a Samsera break tip. I still believe that the original cue tech didn’t know what he was doing, and mistakenly took too much material off.

I'd have to lock up the credit card and checkbook! 😁

Seriously. Reduce the CC limit and lose the checkbook. The last item I bought was a JB 4/8 hybrid. I needed it like a snail needs airbrakes. Someone was looking at it. I said to John if they put it down I'll take it. Fortunately/unfortunately I'm not in Pa right now. Markley Billiards is not too far.... it's a nice players room. (nice room for anyone)
