What was the extension snafu?

Shane called an extension, Lehman didn't hear it and was about to call a foul on SVB over it. Yapp said Shane called it. Play stopped for about 5 mins while they reviewed a replay. Someone here said it looked like Emily stepped in and said no foul, but I didnt' see that. Shane eventually got to shoot the shot with no foul.

Interesting. Is matchroom also making them call a push?
 
I thought that might have been a foul when Oi was shorting the 6 ball when the score was 9-7, but his opponent didn’t complain so I’m probably wrong.

I would assume so. I don't know enough of Lehman to be honest, even though I've seen him refereeing tournaments for many many years now. I haven't kept track of good or bad calls. But I do know the other two refs have refereed some huge snooker matches in front of big audiences with a lot of money on the line. You see them in a lot of snooker videos.

Not sure how Lehman got the head honcho ref job for Matchroom events. Before it was Michaela but she had some fallout with MR and left. Was replaced by Nigel. Nigel was steady hand but don't know what happened to him disappeared.

What they apparently fail to realize is this is the USA. This isn't England with the anal rules.
 
Is there a way of looking up a player by name? Theres a kid 18 or 19 by the name of Nathan Childress that was playing, obviously not in still but plays real well. I've watched several streams lately of him winning big money sets off guys around Ohio and PA

Bredan Moore is a top ref, he also does World Snooker.
Very professional.
He would be a good choice as main ref.

Yeah, the younger guy is in a bunch of snooker matches too, and not just the early rounds. The blonde lady is missing from this tournament - I forget her name, but she's also in a bunch of snooker matches.

Edit: Her name is Desislava Bozhilova. If you've seen a MR pool event in the past few years, you'd recognize her.

Anal rules, Al?
These are the people that have produced many billiard millionaires.
...they don’t do bar rules
