After three consecutive fouls, does the opponent have the choice to accept the table as is? The rules I first encountered (at bca-pool.com, and also at http://www.wpa-pool.com/web/index.asp?id=119&pagetype=rules#4.11) state that the offending player has to rerack the balls and perform an opening break shot.
However I have seen other rules, eg in Phil Capelle's Play Your Best Straight Pool appendix, that state the opponent has the choice of accepting the table or making the offending player rebreak.
Is there an official rule that applies here? Or is it up to the tournament/league etc as to how the post-three-foul situation is handled?
Thanks,
Chris
