Tom In Cincy said:IMO, A lot more questions needing answers before anyone can form an informative opinion on this ruling.
Diabetics may be back to normal sugar levels after 30 minutes, but that doesn't mean they are capable of normal tasks. If I may take a guess, very few pool players are doctors.
At this venue I would also guess that the parimedics were the only ones qualified to give an accurate opinion as to the medical condition of the player that was in a diabetic coma. Everyone else would just be guessing.
The player told me he has had these spells most of his life and felt good enough to play his well-earned shot at playing for the championship...And who knows better than the paramedics?...the person it has happened too.
