Marco Teutcher forfeit vs Deuel

[justnum]

I can imagine a future technology with call shot straight pool using digital equipment to make the call non verbally.

Verbally calling a shot is too slow. A non language based way to call shots in pool is great for creating new player statistics and creates opportunity to approach other industries for sponsorship.

There are so many types of errors that can happen during play, letting players use technology to avoid it has benefits.

Nice post, and you've framed the matter well.

The players don't call all their shots because it keeps the game moving. As we saw in the straight pool era, in which every single shot was called and then the call was repeated by the referee, the game moved too slowly and this, along with other reasons, spelt the end of the straight pool era. Call shot is extremely fan unfriendly when every shot is called.

In pro pool, call shot rules have been rare enough in recent year that the governing bodies haven't had to spend much time on them, but you can be sure that they remember how slow straight pool was and don't want to go there again. They are willing to sacrifice a little precision in adjudicating the game in order to keep the game moving along, and their view is certainly reasonable.

Because most pros aren't little bitches. Calling that is a little BITCH move. There was no one on the planet that thought he was playing a three ball combo on the 5 while shooting directly at the 3 and the rules only stipulate calling non obvious shots, i.e. combos caroms and banks.

As soon as Corey changed from lining up on the combo to lining up on the shot in the side, it became an obvious shot that didn't need to be called.

It seems like he realized it was the nittiest of nit moves after the ref said no, and he forfeited the last two out of shame.

I suspect you are replying to someone else's post. My post was a reply to another poster and has nothing to do with the Teutscher situation. As was requested, it pertained to how players and pool's governing bodies have dealt with call shot over the years.

This is the disputed shot at 7 hrs 37 min

Looks to me like it was pretty clear that Corey changed his mind and decided to shoot the ball in the side.

I was confused. When Cory aimed 90 degrees away from the four ball combo, I thought Cory was trying to masse into the combo, so when the cue ball went straight towards another pocket for a tap-in, I jumped out of my seat, and as I was choking on pork rinds, I spit out, "Foul, You soft breaking mother effer! Foul!"

I get it- the pros are like mice fighting over cheese and there isn't enough cheese.

However, the DeLuna and Marco situations are very petty. I know DeLuna didn't initiate it, but he shouldn't have tried to benefit from the situation and Marco clearly knew that Corey changed his mind.

I know it sucks to lose, but this just comes across as sour grapes

Just as the commentator says "Mr. Duel on deck...." at 7:37:24 Duel seems to cancel his call.
Hard to tell because of the Griff's logo.
Also that's a triple combo.
A combo has three balls including the cueball, double has four balls, triple has five balls.
