Shane Wolford broke, made a ball, and another ball flew off the table, which is ruled a foul and gives Alcaide BIH. That has to be the dumbest rule in the books. Crazy that he's penalized for that break.

He's actually been playing the God, not the ghost, recently: same as the ghost but you don't get ball in hand after the break. So you just have to break and run to win. I saw him play one set that he didn't win, but came close - final score in this video was 21-19:

Please stop posting things that aren't true in this thread, it's getting tiring. Matchroom has not admitted that the ref implemented the rules incorrectly, and they have not promised any changes to the rules. The screenshot from Scott's FB page that you posted earlier in no way supports this...

He was quoting the BCA rules, which are, last I checked, in America. See: https://bca-pool.com/general/custom.asp?page=55#:~:text=However%2C%20when%20a%20referee%20is,balls%20to%20their%20correct%20positions. This thread is incredibly frustrating. Many times in this thread, someone has made a...

Nowhere in the screen shot you posted does anyone say "They are making changes." Please stop making things up...

So this screen shot does not say what you said in your post. All Scott says is, "And I know this won't happen again, and if it does, things happen it's not the end of the world and definitely not worth destroying a pool career." What you said happened was that the ref was told she made a bad...

I looked at Scott's FB page and can't find that anywhere. Can you provide a link or a screenshot of what you're talking about?

Whats your source on this?

The ref is to say. That's literally her job. Stop whining about a call you don't like.

I'm not sure what you don't understand here. Touching a ball during your shot constitutes a foul. You don't just get a do-over when you commit a foul -- you give up ball in hand. Wu Jia Qing lost in the finals of the US open a few years ago in a similar situation -- he accidentally touched the 4...

You know, you can just say ref. You don't have to say "Lady Ref"...

That's not how any sports work. If you violate a rule in a sporting competition, then your opponent can call you on it and you get penalized. If you think the rule is wrong, then you should argue to change the rule. But in a game or match situation, you can't just pick and choose which rules you...

Not calling it when your opponent commits a foul doesn't mean you have more integrity. It just means you're going to lose more matches.

Oscar was a great player, but he has no chance against the top guns from Europe at this point in his career. I don't know if Billy Thorpe was still banned from this Mosconi cup due to the drug test issue, but if not, I would have put him in as a captain's pick. Chris Reinhold or Josh Roberts...

I honestly don't know what incentive I, as a USA fan, have to continue watching the Mosconi Cup in the future. It's amazing that the US did as well as they did this year. But picking Earl and Oscar to be on this year's team is like a slap in the face to anyone who wants to watch a cup where the...

If it goes hill-hill, they'd need to play one more match than is on this lineup (Earl's match would put the score at hill-hill).

plenty of important and prestigious tournaments are invitationals (e.g. the world pool masters). exhibitions are just for fun / for a spectacle -- has nothing to do with whether it's an invitational or not. you can think what you want about the mosconi cup, but the pros who compete in it...

you're not sure the difference between an invitational and an exhibition?

Earl missed a straight in 4 ball in the corner, leaves Europe hooked, and they have a safety battle. After Shane coaches Earl to play a lock up safety, Shaw hits it hard and prays, and it somehow goes into the side pocket. That's two lucky rolls in two racks for Shaw, who seems to be getting...

I think this must be a satire account...
