I have a question regarding 8-Ball played by APA rules.........
I have a tough shot of the 8-Ball into the corner pocket. One of his balls is near the 8-Ball, so he requests to have someone watch the hit.
I have already marked my pocket with an official pocket marker. My opponent brings over the guy that is supposed to watch the hit. So they are talking about what to look for on the good/bad hit.
The guy that is watching the hit accidentally knocks over my pocket marker on the floor. I was not paying attention as I was lining up the shot.
After I pocket the ball on a good hit, my opponent yells that I did not mark my pocket. The league operator is brought over to make a final decision, and he says that because my marker was not within a diamond of the pocket when I shot, I lose.
What do you think should be the response in this case?
