In a tournament format is breaking your cue down for any reason considered coinciding the match?

Under many official rule sets it is, though of course gambling has no rules.
Outside of changing shafts, it's usually shark move and I don't tolerate people doing it
while I'm shooting and then saying "go ahead and shoot". Ditto grabbing the rack.
I've never had to change shafts mid game, but how would one make it clear that you're just changing your shaft and your opponent doesn't misconstrue it as a concession and mess with the balls?

When people grab the rack or say things like "nice game" after they miss and leave a ball or runout, I thank them and ask them to rack up the next game. They just conceded.
And if he responds with something witty, like 'Fuuuk yuuuuu'?
WHat then
I don't mind barking them back down. That stuff shouldn't be allowed to fly. If they don't agree to the concession, then I can typically get them to agree cut that out.
Standing up and getting back down usually shakes the shark off me. :shakehead:
