Watched some of this yesterday. Congrats to Neils.
Issue?
They were using magic rack. Opponent racks. Breaker inspects. Breaker then fiddles with rack. Breaker makes a couple balls on break and runs out.
Original racker seems to have no problem with breaker fiddling with rack. Racker didn't re-examine rack after fiddling.
Was this by agreement before tournament started?
Not everytime....just sometimes.
Doesn't the racker rack? As many times as it takes? Just seemed unusual.
oh yeah, more than once (same guy) while measuring a kick..place tip at rail, raise stick to 45 degrees, pivot at tip to see 'out' angle, re-raise cue, pivot back to 'in' angle, then shoot. Reminded me of a beer league tactic, marking the table.
