Did you notice how he pointed to the second diamond before shooting the 7 ball, which is where he wanted the CB to go for the 8?
Guess that is a BS foul too?
Thing is, if he is not marking a rail or cushion to aid in the alignment of the shot, he can do anything with his cue, to visualize the path of an OB. Which he did not do in either sequence of this rack.
Now back to your padded room.

You better laminate it to your health insurance card.

Yes that should also be a foul because there should be no diamonds on the table....you clearly haven't been following along.
Jokes on you...it already comes laminated. Maybe I'll attach the rule to the back side of it.
I could go through his whole agonizing game but can't be bothered. He chalked. He touched the table with his tip. Foul.
Incorrect Brags. Logic and reading comprehension are required here. The rule states that the mark must be intentional. If someone is simply using their cue to point at something and the tip happens to touch the cloth, and they are not intending to mark the table, then the rule as written has not been violated.

IF he marked the table.
Hey 'ghost, Bill in Tulsa here; have you been to the new Buffalo's? Was wondering what its like. Heard its pretty nice.
Technically no, because he started the thread. That doesn't make it any less rediculous. Earlier he claimed he was a purist, but t wants to outlaw the bridge/rake/rest. The oldest pureist game is 14.1. No break cues, no jump cues, but the bridge will s a huge part of it.
Want to get more pure? Let's talk snooker. The bridge, and extensions have been part of that game since the beginning. And like he stated, no diamonds.
Brags and Blackballed have been going back and forth for a while now. I'll put even money on BB on a race against Brags in a race to 500 14.1 and I already know who would win.
I once had a guy challenge my table playing nine ball. Put his quaters up and racked. After I picked up a bridge and made my shot, he grabbed the cue ball and tried to take ball in hand. I asked what the hell he was doing and he said that the rules he played by, using a bridge was a loss of turn. I politely explained to him that it was my table he challenged and those weren't the rules on this table. His girlfriend got involved, then my girlfriend got involved, then he tried to get between them.
Long story short, and a piece of advice to Brags. If you don't like the rules, don't play the game. Or at least do it on your own terms and keep your mouth shut!

no i sure havent yet bill....works got me tied up tight with a 14/7 mostly focusing up building up the shop on my off time....if its on the the wood its good. From the pics i've seen it seems to be a nice place to play. The old one had great tables but was kind of a dungeon imop.

He made it a few days this time instead of hrs
He's refining his trolling skills just enough
After so many attempts

That's why I now refuse to play any games with ball in it's name, every single person has thier own set of bs rules I'm sick of rotation bangers
You needed a bridge on a 7ft table?

Agree the OP is trolling, but I'd like to know where this is legal. Utah? Middle East?

Ya but you are forgetting that I will have a laminated card that clearly states the rule against marking the table.
Why do you think he chalked again afterwards? Because he lost all the chalk when he bounced the tip off the rail and dragged it along the cloth. Foul.
what constitutes a Low Deflection shaft? I'm guessing you probably havent got a clue.
Since any cue lower in diameter than the old standard of 13mm would be lower deflection. Keep it at 13mm and remove the ferrule and its also again...lower deflection.
Hell ferrules were not original to cues, neither were white ferrules, the first were black.
The only reason ferrules are and were originally put on shafts were to protect it from damage due to miscuing on edge especially when thin tipped and stroked by some novice with no control of their stroke/those who think 3 tips of english is on the edge of the ball.
So originally cues were lower deflection in the beginning than they were at the advent of the ferrule.
diamonds are not a component on any pool table on earth.....there are sights on pool and billiards tables and they have always been in existence on such.
Snooker doesn't generally include them as kicking and banking are typically rare in that game for obvious reasons, banks being of much lesser occurrence. Tho there are snooker tables with sights albeit uncommon and they have also existed long before the modern game.
Take the sights off a table.....any asshat can still split a sub rail into thirds.
next is your spot on the wall......there doesn't need to be anything on a wall to do it as its just a geometric unfolding of the table a player can project with their imagination....much like one would do splitting a subrail into thirds.
Your not a purist. You dont even know the history of the game and it shows vividly.
Your addition of the magic rack is even more laughable in regards to your list....being a so called purist, that should be the first thing to go being that it makes all racks hackable everytime...all the time... its design grants expected results to every rack from novice to pro in a highly consistent fashion, which arguably quantifies such as pattern racking. The slight randomness has always been built into the rules of the game and its materials used for play. A purist would educate themselves as to what to do with such occurrences and how to use them in an advantageous way.
in regards to your interpretation of the marking of the table, you obviously do not know what deliberate means. Pick up a dictionary it will assist you.
no bridge?....that is spoken like a true barbox banger you know the ones who probably cant use one without looking like a monkey screwing a coconut the one time a year they frailly flop around gasping for air on a 9 footer.
you might want to add to your list only balls using all solid colors only since the markings on the balls including numbers and stripes could be used as aiming aids.
many of us can run balls with our eyes closed without issue and your stuck on aiming aids.
im not one for jump cues myself, tho jumping has its place in the game as it should be.....hopefully you get jumped clean off this forum for lack of respect for the history of the game and the long standing members of this board who built it.
i see your tenure here not lasting long, going the way of English and Larry, whether by mod or John Schmidt's goat.
