Iowa 2025 - Ultimate Pool USA

Must be the black ball roots. That's flirting with the snooker folly - retarded defense.

You're correct. You are not allowed to do a dirty combo. The referee in the women's match missed that call. I played in the Iowa Open and this scenario came up in one of my matches. I stopped my opponent before he made the foul and called for a ref. He confirmed that it was not allowed. Needless to say, my opponent appreciated the gesture.

You can certainly shoot your ball into your opponent's ball. It's a legal shot and loss of turn. The "dirty combo" means that when the table is open, you cannot shoot a solid into a stripe to claim stripes, or vice versa. You may never "intentionally foul", which means contacting the opponent's ball first for any type of strategy.

That's a rule? (shudder)
