Pros not knowing rules at derby-part 2

[briankenobi]

This may be true but also remember this. In Golf, they are playing against the entire field, any infraction can change the entire tournament unless it's match play. Not arguing that pool rules should be followed, it's just a completely different situation.

I hear ya, but it was the only thing I thought of to comapre it to at the time.

Good for you on abiding by the rules! And, knowing them! Too few care enough to bother knowing what they are supposed to be doing.

Just realize, that on AZB, because you actually followed the rules of the tournament, you are considered a nit-picking, pull any cheap move to win, non-playing douche with no honor or respect for the game. :wink:

Wow,wonder what they would think if they knew I was waiting for someone to concede me a 9 ball I know the rules and play by them.I have helped some pool promoters make some new ones too. Cool uh? :thumbup: John B.

In the case of Derby City, the problem is sort of understandable because the event has it's own set of rules that are not used elsewhere, so far as I know. One example is the rule about double hits on close balls.

I saw one of these first hand , the object ball looked to be about an 1/2 inch away from the cueball from where I was sitting at the other end of the table .
The shooter said something about the rule and his opponent said what I thought was the right thing , just get a referee.
The guy gets the ref, jacks up and shoves the cueball through the object ball and the ref goes, good hit!
I wasn't at the meeting, so I don't know what was said, but any other time in my lifetime of playing it would have been a foul.

As I recall, using your break cue to jump was allowed in the Bigfoot 10-Ball event but not in any of the 3 Master-of-the-Table events.

In One pocket this is HUGE! I trapped a guy and he pushed through it to escape the safe.

Shot down at an angle rule for close balls abused in the game of one pocket.
