Why do spectators put marks/markers on the table cloth while players are getting ready to shoot?
Philipino pool games marking table went

if the ref marks the table its so the ball can be returned to orig. spot if moved. i've seen pics of filipino gambling matches where the bets are written on the cloth.
I think it's so the balls can be put back if accidently moved. In the small number of times I've watched Filipino matches, I've never seen the marks used.
Where is Jay Helfert when we need him?
Right here. You've got the answer above by Garczar. They play cue ball fouls only. Yet are still very careful about touching or moving another ball.
And on the ball in foul situations.

Here is a sample. I've seen where several spectators place objects near several object balls. I read that is a type of betting.
AGAIN: they're marking the positions of the balls with little pieces of chalk. its done in case the balls get moved so they can go back. every 'pino match i've watched they do this.Spectators place small objects on the table...what are these for?171K views · 1.6K reactions | Ubosan ng aray kenneth vs jaybe sucal #followerseveryone #highlights #billiards | Sibakoy 2.0

Thank you very much. The video i tried to post was not the correct one. I'll try to find a good example so others may see the process. I understand your explanation.
NO clue what you're talking about, the only times i've seen a 'pino table marked is : 1.Marking balls position 2.Writing the bet(s) down, usually in the corner at one end of table. Never seen anyone place objects of any kind on the table.

I've watched a hundred matches on YouTube from the Philippines and I never seen anything but chalk or talc powder being used to mark ball position.
Well……I’ve seen a lot of object balls placed on the table……Spectators place small objects on the table...what are these for?171K views · 1.6K reactions | Ubosan ng aray kenneth vs jaybe sucal #followerseveryone #highlights #billiards | Sibakoy 2.0

There is usually just one referee per match, but often a second person does the racking. That second person (or the ref) might also be responsible for cleaning the cue ball. To mark the cue ball they may just wet their fingertip and put a spot of damp where the ball is marked to replace it afterwards. This differentiates it from the chalk mark of an object ball.Spectators place small objects on the table...what are these for?171K views · 1.6K reactions | Ubosan ng aray kenneth vs jaybe sucal #followerseveryone #highlights #billiards | Sibakoy 2.0

The absolute most interesting thing is all the betting that goes on between games with hand signals etc. In some case a bet might be marked along the rail as well with a coin. Bets are paid off after each game and the next rack is delayed until all bets are paid and new ones made. It can often take up to five minutes between racks in a heavy betting session. The incoming player (breaker) must wait patiently while this process is playing it. He's in for a cut if he produces a winner.
