It’s already happened several times, well documented.

They are also using video to get the call wrong.

Good luck!

If the ref makes the right call, it’s 9 to 5, with FSR breaking. Is he a favorite from there, obviously not. Is he capable of winning the next five racks, obviously yes.

Only the willfully obtuse are still claiming good hit. Worse than them, are the ones condemning Yapp. It’s a professional match, with a full time professional referee. You don’t call fouls on yourself, under those circumstances.

Hey, I’ve been hearing about Rack City, what can you tell us about it.

Not a foul, because incompetent ref didn’t call it. Definitely a bad hit. For those referring to the tangent line, the original doesn’t exist, in relation to the eight ball. It is altered by the bad hit. There have been many recent threads about this exact thing, and so many people on the wrong...

The UPL rules, that seem a little odd, are because of the unique situation with the shot and match clock. Most of them make a lot of sense.

Pretty Cool

Who has the most motivation to identify these sandbaggers? Who is the most capable of doing so? FargoRate does not want people gaming their system. Mike has stated that there are bad actors out there, they have caught some of them. It would be almost impossible to get away with it, consistently...

Thanks for the video Doc. It illustrates several important things. Times change, many tournaments don’t have floor refs. Participants are expected to use video on close shots. If the two parties don’t agree, the TD decides, based on the video. If you didn’t take a video, SOL. Using a...
