I don't agree...
The whole idea of having no refs and allowing someone to call a foul on a shirt touch to a ball not even in play at the time is so ridiculous and the fact that a fellow pro would even mention it says a lot about that person's character- the fellow who called it has no character what so ever. If it was a hill/ hill match playing for any amount of money or not I would never even think of saying something - I would have a lot more to say about it if it were done to me in person- it would be very ugly and I think justifiably so. I am only commenting on fouls called BY AN OPPONENT for some part of clothing just touching a ball on the table- in my opinion it is one of the lowest displays of Sportsmanship imaginable.
I think it is COMPLETELY And TOTALLY on the tournament directors and promoters.
You can't have a rule that requires arbitration without a referree. Anyone who gets pissed at the opponent calling a foul when there is a foul is petty IMO.
They make the rule, in a perfect world you would trust the opponent to call it on themselves. I know I would and I know that Oscar D. would. This is pool, there are people that would move the ball 2 inches and then swear up and down they didn't touch it.
I trust Johnny Archer to call it on himself IF he knows he touched it, but if I see him touch it and I don't think he knows he did AND there's no ref there to call it. I'm calling it and wouldn't blame anyone who does.
