maybe when it's something that may have effected the outcome.
Another chicken shit “foul”
- Thread starter Texas Carom Club
- Start date
At league night? Sure, it would be really scumbaggish to call that.
At these super events, that's a foul that's going to be called and is expected to be called by the referee. It is one of the main reasons they are there. The majority of players will not bother calling that on others.

It’s chicken shit to steal a win from a guy for a chicken shit stupid ass rule that should not exist
Some super event when even the crowd would not approve of such a call.no one would approve of it other than the guy that steals the win, and probably Mika , who for a second looked like the other player to me pointing at the table
So again, how do you decide which rules you follow and which you don't?
What do you do when your opponent has a different list of rules to follow?
Isn't it important that everybody agree to follow the same rules in any given competition?
It looks like you decide to call a chicken shit foul every opportunity you get per the video
Oh I just lost but wait he’s putting balls on the table, I’m now the winner!
What a competition! Super professional

If only there were rules
So please answer my honest question...

If only losers didn’t need chicken shit rules to save them
I keep telling you , you just don’t like what I have to say
It’s chicken shit that should not exist and only a loser will call it
I understand that you don't like that rule. I don't either in this situation, but that's not the point.
You obviously believe in following some rules. Probably even most of them. But how do you decide which ones to follow or not?
What do you do when an opponent disagrees and says that a rule you believe is valid, is chicken shit?
Shouldn't you both agree on the rules in advance?
I’m gonna hee saying the same thing just like you are
There’s no need at all for this chicken shit rule to be called , should not exist, it does, should never be called
You agree to all the rules by entering the tournament
And in no tournament or situation is this rule ever needed or valid .
What if the cue ball is rolling slowly towards the pocket...?
I imagine the rule isn't written for this exact situation, but for others where an outcome might have been affected.
Regardless though, these players agreed to play by the set of rules in advance. That rule is included in the set.
Again, I don't like the way that one ended up any more than you do, but the rule is there and they knew the rules going in.
If he didn't, then that's his own damn fault, and stupid should hurt.

You can't read or follow rules. I'm sure sarcasm is way past you
You think a rule makes your a better player lmao
Really? A rule like this being enforced in this situation is completely uncalled for, for players playing at this level, and for a ref who sees it all unfolding in plain sight. The ball is NOT rolling anywhere near or towards any pocket for anyone observing with any common sense at all, and this is the only reason the player started assisting the ref by removing the balls from a pocket.

I understand that, but the rule doesn't say that it's only applied under certain circumstances.
Would I call something like that while gambling? Of course not. But at the professional level, do we really want pool to be the game where, at that level, we're so disorganized and unprofessional that we either apply the rules or ignore them based on arbitrary and inconsistent criteria that isn't specified in the rules themselves?
And people wonder why pool isn't given the respect other "serious" games/sports are...
Either get rid of the rule or write it better so there's no need for individual interpretation.

you must be the life of the party. if the drinks aren't poured exactly right do you call foul??seriously, there is the literal rule and the implementation. there is wiggle room in all things dealing with rules. even the usga had to have a 'decisions' book to explain the use of the rules. not everything is blk-white and this, imo, is another case of 'nittius maximus'.
If there's wiggle room, then it shouldn't be a rule.
They should be black or white.
It should never be a question of whether or not a rule is enforced, but simply if it's in the rulebook.
