Are there Bridge head size rules.?

[DistinguishedBilliards]

We where discussing this at a BCA match last night. I found terms on using equipment as designed but had some quires on Jump bridge head vs a standard size.? I saw you can double stack but are there exact measurements and is it per event type.?

Never seen a size limit for a bridge head in any ruleset. But anything you may want to use that is of a large size would likely hamper the shot or positioning of the bridge more so than aiding the shot.

The length/height of the Justa-Bridge is very useful for jump shots when the CB is near center table. The alternative is stacking two regular bridges.

Otherwise agree with you.

I think that there are rules that govern the use of bridges, or a least there used to be. In Straight pool, one can only stack two bridges to shoot over a cluster of balls. But, the rules don't say anything about dimensions. Today's equipment have bridges that stand 6" in height which were not is previous years. So, I think if any rule did exist, it went the way of the Dodo Bird.
