A discussion came up about this, at the BCA State tourney in French Lick Indiana. Playing 8 ball
Player A has stripes, he has no shot at his last ball, and calls a safe. His ball is declared frozen to the rail. He shoots the cue ball into his ball lightly, and the cue ball touches the rail, hiding his opponent from all possible balls. Is it a foul?
In VNEA, this is a good hit, because a ball touched a rail, after contact with a legal ball. Some say BCA league rules are different. Don't post a link for me to read, as I have read it. And I see where they may interpret this in 2 different ways.
