I recently watched a 3 cushion match on YouTube having grown tired watching of modern pro nineball so I decided to give some 3 cushion viewing a chance.
The match was a real nail biter between Jaspers and Zanetti with the outcome unknown until the very end. As Jaspers finally reached 40 with a sigh of relief Jaspers sat down at which time I thought the match was over. But to my surprise the referee reset the balls in the breaking position and Zanetti came up to shoot. He made the first point from the breaking position but subsequently missed the second and at that point the game was over with the perfunctory hugs and hand shakes.
My question is what was that all about? I thought when one player reached 40 the match was over!
Can anyone explain this to me?
