If there is an official referee or someone that both sides agree on, then his call is final whether he gets it right or wrong
Double Hit or Not? You Make the Call.

Not sure what you mean
Referees gets it wrong sometimes in all sports, it part of the sport.
I rather have a referee getting it wrong than starting a fight with some a-hole
Sound is not a reliable indicator of a double-hit foul. See the examples in the videos here:
With clear video evidence, there are no fights (or even discussion). The call is usually totally obvious. If not, the benefit of the doubt goes to the shooter (no foul).
I agree with this. Many people I know (myself included) call someone to watch our own shots when it is going to be close.
Sometimes the person you ask gets it wrong. It happens sometimes and it annoys me when the call is wrong, but I’d rather take the chance of a wrong call by a neutral party than have an argument or have my opponent think I cheated if I don’t call a ref and don’t think it’s a foul when my opponent does.
I don't think anybody disagrees. Only that the referee should have obvious/verifiable evidence.

chgo
if its going to that close that no one can see whether its a foul or not then the shot should not allowed to be taken.
and the if in doubt it goes to the shooter. who is in doubt. the opponent says its not a good hit. so the shooter says it is.
so is that the doubt. if so the shooter determines all close calls. is that fair when no ref..

Perpendicular to the action in question; not just standing around with an eye on the balls.
of course I'm talking about someone who is called to look over the shot and just someone from the crowed
You'll make Earl extremely happy.
of course you need to combine both.n the right video, I guessed right that the third is a foul but missed the first one but in that case the movement forward is a dead giveaway and no nee for sound.
When elevated it's easier to use your ears such as in the shot that started this thread.
On the left video, a misscue is not a foul unless the player is using it to jump
I have explained that on more than one occasion. In competition I have requested a ref to watch the hit many times. In league play I request a member of the other team.
Reminds me of Dirty Harry, "was that one click or two?" Wait with Dirty Harry the punch line was, "Do You fell lucky?" Sometimes the umpire is open to appeal. A simple explanation of why I respectfully disagree, he still gets the final call. Sometimes I still get the wrong call.
Just like baseball, "there's no crying in pool."So yeah a double hit would provide 3 clicks, not 2.
As a catcher in Little League baseball, I developed a close relationship with the umpire.
We had intimate time
together. At 8 years old I had one umpire that would grab the straps at their cross in the back and pull me back from the plate. Just a little. Ooops there I go Ramblin again. Think it's time for We all miss a call on occasion."Once it's missed, oh well. Don't try to make it right with a wrong call that goes the other way." Well that was my silent thoudht.And uh prayer.
bigger things require prayer anyways.
Agree with having a reliable ref. Last thing that you want is someone calling a foul on you just because he thought that it was impossible to make a shot with certain English applied. Yeah, there are people out there that thinks they know alot about pool.
I mean specifically the ref. You know how in Pinoy action the table guys are ready to mark anything for reset. Refs need to be on the - THAT ball. Have a phone in position like Dr. Dave (good idea
) if appropriate. If people need to be called over - and there's a million guys there who at least believe they can play; <the qualified among them should be on call to make the call> . Matter of fact they should all be tested and have to qualify for a competition license.
