rules question...
- Thread starter jcpoolgod
- Start date
Under both WSR and CSI/BCAPL two possiblities, based on the action of the balls set in motion on the shot: (1) if no ball set in motion as a result of the shot passes through the area originally occupied by the 14, opponent's option to leave the 14 down or have it restored. Result of shot stands. (2) foul if any ball set in motion as a result of the shot passes through the area originally occupied by the 14. In that case, the 14 stays down and BIH to oponent.
Can't answer for other rule sets.

It didn't effect the shot at all.
Spot the ball or leave it down.
Continue shooting.
So before he can shoot the shot, the opponent gets to decide if the ball spots or if it stays down.
It's not a foul unless "all ball fouls" are played.

It is also a foul if a ball rolls through the area where the original ball was...as the ball not being there creates a different outcome than if the ball had been there.
Take for instance, what if the shooter had called one of his balls to bank into the blocked pocket, hoping for his to follow the blocking ball. If the blocking ball falls, then his ball goes unimpeded. Foul.
The ball should be spotted where it was, the option of leaving it in the pocket would not apply here since it's off the playing surface and was not made by a shot, legal or not. It's not like a ball was moved to a different spot on the table, it was moved off the playing surface. That opens up way too many "moves".

Yes, but that didn't happen on this shot.
Simple
Foul, ball in hand, unless it is straight pool, which brings the most basic question:
what actually was the game played???
I like the rule that any foul that results in a ball in a pocket is ball-in-hand....
...this is the case here as he hit it with his cue.
It's a good rule
First we need to know what game and what rules.
