The Pongers' shot was very clearly not a push shot. It's not a matter of doubt.

Look at the very, very bottom of your screen (below Home/Forums/etc), and then on the left. It may say something like "XF2 Default...

Here are several. The first 3 links are different views of the same shot involving an illegal push stroke. The fourth link is an...

I believe Karl thinks push shots and double hits are all the same. At snooker, they are. Even in the US, many players call a double hit...

Under the current regulations, the ref is supposed to explain rules. I think this is not a good situation, but it seems to be necessary...
