Lag time?

[justadub]

If you're going to speak on the rules, it's better to have read them. And since they change from time to time, recently. They are available online. The two best bets are the CSI rules at playcsipool.com and the World Standardized Rules at wpapool.com. Ignore the other US leagues.

If you do read the rules, you will be ahead of most US tournament directors.

And even in APA...
"1. LAGGING Players lag at approximately the same time to see who wins the first break. The ball that stops closest to the head rail wins."
