I worked in a pool hall as a teenager racking balls, sweeping floors, etc. House rules there were strict, but admired by most because the tables stayed in good condition over the years. From that background I was appalled when I first saw a player jump on the table after a victory. It seems like the worst way to celebrate, and a terrible example to set.
Seriously??? Spur of the moment celebration. You really think people are gonna start doin' this based on this MC deal?? Please.

Davenport, 30 seconds away from vigorously leaping onto the table after cinching a 1994 Pro Tour title match against Buddy Hall (after years of "close but no cigar" finishes on the Tour.)

OK to shag a girl on the table after a league win?
Its fine, as long as no balls are touching
I heard Ping Pong teams celebrate on top of their tables too.

While I would never condone standing on top of a pool table, the fact is
that these things are solid and most likely aren't going to be phased by the extra weight.
Now as far as the cloth/cushions being damaged, that's a different story but the weight itself won't hurt anything. I can't speak for Rasson, but Diamond stacks tables 4 high when they store them at the factory and move them in semi trailers for delivery.

So dancing on blue cloth is just what it deserved, lol.
You know the pool table doesn't have feelings or nerve endings or anything like that. Maybe you could start a National Anti-Furniture abuse foundation.
Yeah, so who’s gonna chair it?
Table that discussion until later.
There's already a bureau for that.
Yes, I agree. And celebrations come in many forms depending on the sport.
There is a tradition in NCAA basketball when a team wins their way to the final four, they toss up a ladder and take turns cutting the nets down.
Walking though college athletic facilities, any national championship trophy for basketball or lacrosse, usually has a piece net wrapped around it. The team and the coach keep pieces of the rest.
Moments in history of any sport should be celebrated and cherished. Let them dance on the table and enjoy the moment. When they try to start drinking out of the Mosconi Cup, then we can dial it back.
