During a match on Monday, during my FIRST game, my opponent was on a hanging eight ball searching for his pocket marker... I said, "Just call your pocket man, I'm cool with it". He said ok, called the obvious pocket and won.
On the NEXT game, my opponent left the eight hanging. I then made a tough shot on my last ball and left my self a 6 inch tap in on the eight. My opponent called me for not marking the pocket! Fortunately, I got hot and won the next four racks in a row. (while extremely pissed off)
Is there a rule pertaining to this, or is it up to each player to hold up a verbal agreement? Was it not officially established? I would take no pleasure in "rule whippin" somebody, but I've seen too many shady situations in my league.
Any thoughts?
