World Nineball Tour Rules
For those who think it's easier to annoy you than to Google 'World nineball tour rules' themselves.
Do you have a video link of 3 fouls being ignored? I think it is very, very unlikely that they have changed that rule.
So far as I know, Matchroom uses the World Standardized Rules with minor break rule modifications.
I was watching Hanoi Open cup and a few of those didnt have referee calling 3 fouls
This one doesnt state 3 fouls in loss of game. That is why i am askingWorld Nineball Tour Rules

you're wrong. sky 3 fouled ko ping han in the penultimate rack in L32. it's on youtube
That rule page also does not state that the balls must be made in order, and that whoever pockets the 9 ball wins. They go by WPA rules for playing the game. The small amount of additional rules they publish on their site are specific break format differences, and stuff like showing up on time for the match, etc.
But of course they cannot actually utter the name. I think they ought to be saying "World Standardized Rules" which doesn't seem that offensive.
Either that particular referee made a mistake or you didn't understand the situation. I doubt that the opponent would let the fouls slide.
Does MR use the 3 point break rule?
No. The nine is racked on the footspot, the one is racked in front and the two is racked on one of the other "corners". The cue ball is in hand but must be placed in the break box, which is roughly 16 inches wide. The speed of the break must be forceful enough to satisfy the referee -- no soft breaking. Yes, that is a nebulous rule.
Thanks. One match I was watching had a 2 point break and no one said anything.
