You lose your turn. The ball coming out of the pocket and back onto the table occurs all the time. The ball is NOT considered pocketed because it’s now sitting in the bed of the cloth.

What rules are you looking at? The pros play by WPA, which i posted a link for. Many amateurs play by WPA or BCAPL which are almost identical with just a couple exceptions.

Ball and pocket.

See above.

Some of your assumptions are incorrect. Please review the WPA rules at this link. https://wpapool.com/rules-of-play/

Semih Sayginer’s 3-cushion trick shots have always been one of my top favorites. https://youtu.be/HwRMiSEYUt4 The shot at 3:15 is my favorite.

68 times is a lot. I’ve seen them every time they came through Chicago and then Texas since the late 1980s.

Thanks. I’m a huge Rush fan. I’m still on Facebook and I’m in the Straight Pool Fanatics group. Lots of good content there. Jim

60 ball run I ran 60 on April 29. https://youtu.be/wEqFMaPmqrE

Ok. Thanks.

Thanks for the explanation, Bob. I realize that BCAPL has their own (amateur) rules and the BCA has their own rules. Based on https://bca-pool.com/page/25, the BCA is the North American representative to the WPBA and the BCA publishes their rules as the World Standardized Rules. So are these...

So the BCA leagues you mention in your previous post are not related to the current BCAPL under CSI?

Why do you say that, Bob? Although CSI is now the parent company, there are still BCA pool leagues, https://www.playcsipool.com/bcapl.html.

Lol. Which video are you referring to?

I prefer using a break shot that is a more conventional break shot, one that is likely to be seen in a game. The odds of that break shot coming up is pretty improbable.
