So much for 10ball saving pool
Was the penalty for moving the ball or positioning it ahead of the head string???Here’s another retarded rule

Can’t touch it once the ref puts it down
Fuck the ref
he should be able to put it where it’s best for him
Just seen this rn fyi lol
Not allowed to touch it at allWas the penalty for moving the ball or positioning it ahead of the head string???
Wow, stupid rule.Not allowed to touch it at all
If I'm not mistaken, one of the players that moved his ball before the lag was left handed and lagging from the left side of the table (from the lagger's perspective). He had no room to even stand for the lag.Wow, stupid rule.
Actually, that's the way carom lagging is done.... Can’t touch it once the ref puts it down
Fuck the ref ....
It’s no less retarded a rule even if Jesus put it in the 10 commandmentsActually, that's the way carom lagging is done.
If anyone loses its the guy who wants to almost see how good the other guy hit his lag.I was watching that match, I think Payne should be on the receiving end of a penalty. He waited too long after the ref waved for the lag to start.
I have been playing since the 1960s and have never heard of that rule.I was watching a stream (Las Vegas 10-ball). Skyler Woodward was playing fellow American Payne McBride.
They lag. Sky wins easily. The referee told Sky he forfeited the lag because his cue ball hit the top rail before McBride's did. A discussion between Sky and the ref ensued.
The ref eventually goes and gets what I suppose was the head referee (he had a referee's shirt on), and a discussion between he and Sky ensues.
We never really get the gist of what the discussion/rule was about, but from what I could gather the original referee was saying that Sky's lag couldn't hit the top rail before the opponent hits his ball. After a brief discussion, they were allowed to re-lag, again with Sky winning.
So, am I missing something here? If it is against the rules for a lagger's ball to hit the top rail before the other lagger strokes his ball, therefore causing a rules violation and immediate loss of lag, wouldn't it be advantageous for a lagger to not even strike his ball until the other lagger's ball has hit the top rail?
What an ingenuous way to win every lag, right? Dumbest rule ever!!
Hopefully after this fiasco it was discussed and fixed.
Again, am I missing something here?
So did folks see sky losing break AND a rack for taking more than the legislated 7 minutes for a break between sets?
Perhaps but if the rules don't favor the players playing the game, the players have no choice but to play the rules.happened to kaci also. fedor cut a deal with the opponent so theyd both get docked a frame. this is stupid.

They did change the shootout format at least. They play a third set to determine the winner, it goes to a shootout if it’s hill/hill in the third set.
