2 weeks ago I played in a 9-ball tournament race to 5 with a 30-minute time limit per match, to ensure that the tournament will not go past 2 am. I was ahead 4 to 2 when the tournament director announced that 5 minutes are left. I viewed the time on my cell phone, it was 10:25 pm. At 10:30 the score was 4 to 3 and my opponent was shooting. He did not stop shooting when the director announced that the time was up and proceeded to run out. I went to the director and told him that my opponent was still shooting. He then told me it is allowed to finish your game. It was now hill-hill. He broke and ran out to win the match. I told the owner of the establishment who agreed with the director. The owner contradicted himself by extended more time to finish the match. What do you guys think was that Fair?
