how's it different from wearing glasses?
Hello all.
So to play devils advocate a little.
You put the 1st bridge as per the picture on the 1st page (Oscar D?) then a 2nd bridge at 90 degrees to it, shaft on the rail, head just over the 1st bridge's shaft, hold the 2nd bridge down firmly, then place your cue on the 2nd bridge's head and shoot your shot.
Only using 2 bridges, tick.
Supporting cue with bridges (not hand), tick.
Which maybe brings you right back to the purpose / manner discussion, which kind of means that it's going to depend on what club / tournament / ref you do this in front of and their knowledge / willingness to enforce the manner thing, (which could be written better).
PS, it strikes me a few people need to understand this is only words and opinions on a forum, no one is taking money out of your pockets.......
A glove elevates a player's bridge hand.
"I would place two long bridges diagonally criss crossed on the long rails, hold one down firmly with each hand and play my shot with the butt of the cue between my teeth".
To be honest, if you can make that, then disregard the rules, I'm giving you the shot
Nice.
Where on the WPA web site is this information available?Its not just about EBPF, WPA referees in fact have their own board where they discuss all these grey rule areas. They come up with rule interpretation which are then binding and are spread through the WPA referees to WPA member federations. And as BCA apparently doesnt do its job then its only logical that USA doesnt get these rule interpretations applied or even known which is truly sad :frown:

It's good that at least one person got the joke.Well asking for any reasonable amount of info to be found on WPA website takes strange sense of humour ...
It's good that at least one person got the joke.
But the links you sent me to have almost nothing in them about making decisions regarding the rules, establishing those decisions as governing play in a Confederation or globally, or publishing those decisions so that all the subject referees can view, understand, and perhaps even comment on them. They only say that the decisions of the top official at an event are final for that particular event. Or did I miss something?
Do decisions within the EPBF govern pool globally?
