This is not meant to be a bash thread on the APA or any other leagues and would like to keep away from that direction.
This is during APA team 8 ball summer session playoffs. The team score is 2-2 and the match is at 1-1 between two SL3s - we'll call them Player A and Player B.
So Player A gets hooked by Player B on the 8 ball. Player A lines up to do a short rail kick with the 8 near the side pocket. A scratch in the side is very likely. Player A has used both time outs and A's captain knows that. A's captain calls the time out and Player B's team calls the foul. A's captain says "I know" and gives Player B ball in hand. B's team calls the league operator over to find out the ruling to find out if there is any more severe consequence aside from the ball in hand given to Player B.
How does the APA rule this? (I cannot find anything in the team manual regarding a situation like this)
How would you rule this? Why?
I've chosen not to disclose what the outcome of the league operator was to try to get the most straight answer from my fellow AZers.
