It was 9-4 at the time of the incident. Should have then been 9-5 with FSR breaking.

Thanks Bob. I didn’t think to check the definition section.

When I was in first year university a professor said “Please write in paragraphs. If you don’t know how to write in paragraphs, at least group your sentences together so that they look like paragraphs.” I remember that over 30 years later!

The CSI/BCA rules address this. The WPA rules don’t address this, but I think the CSI solution makes sense.

I have neither met nor played with Aloysius. I accept that he’s an honourable players and was waiting for the ref’s call. However, I find it hard to believe he didn’t know he fouled. If most informed amateurs believed he fouled, I think he knows as much as they do and also believed he hit the...

I agree on the snooker culture point and I have advocated on here that pool needs a culture shift in this regard. Regularly calling touches of the ball, or double hits etc. But those are things the player can feel. I’m not sure what a snooker player would do in this situation. I mentioned in...

See the attached FB post from Appleton on this point.

If you watched the video, I don’t see how you can not call it a foul. As Dr Dave says, the action of the CB tells the tale.

Great video as always. On the question of FSR not protesting, according to Appleton, FSR told him he couldn’t see the hit because Yapp’s body was in the way.

My very organized girlfriend has made me labels with my name and number on them. I put them on things like my chalk, moose head bridge, extension. It doesn’t stop a determined thief but does help a good person get you back your stuff! Plus I think most people are less inclined to just pocket it...

I use a magnetic chalk holder (currently using the Pagulayan chalk holder with my Pagulayan chalk). Not to tempt the pool gods, but I’ve never dropped a piece in the pocket, because it’s always on the holder except when I’m chalking and I don’t chalk over the table.

Here is the total match time.

There is a guy in my league who has an Aerorack. He is able to get good racks (at least for a 2nd ball BB break). I tried his rack a few times and I couldn’t get as good a rack as did with the wood rack. Given that he gets a decent rack with it, it could be that it just requires practice with...

What is painful to clean? The V10 leaves no real marks on the CB or the table, at least for me?

Johnny may not be fast but he beat Max and then Fedor and is into the final 8. Let’s goooooo!

I hate to break it to you, but what the OB or CB does is the best way to judge a number of things. Double hits when the CB is close to the OB (as Marcel correctly did on a double hit by Sky at a WNT event). Which ball was hit first (like in the Yapp situation). It is the most reliable way to...

I didn’t say the CB being pinned was directly caused by the bad racks. I said it was a result of what they had to DO on the break because of the racks. With the top 6 balls frozen most pro players would break head ball square to make one or both balls behind the head ball in the side and squat...

I was thinking something simple like “The referee will form his decision by all means that seem suitable to him [and may consult video if available].” The [] is the addition I would suggest to thr existing wording.

That may have been true then, but I think they make a fine cue (for a production cue) now.
