Too ambiguous maybe.
Just tap may not work, unless you mean use a legal stroke.
As explained in the applied ruling section:
“It is common for a player to want to end their inning without disturbing the lay of the
table. However, the only way to end your inning without violating Rule 1-40-b is to
attempt a legal stroke. Any other action, including refusing to shoot, is a violation of
Rule 1-40-b.”
In most cases you can get the same result by just shooting away from the balls, but I can think of instances where the CB is trapped and trying any legal stroke will open up the balls. I understand why the CSI rules call for a warning in first instance but in some cases I think the right result would be a loss of game without warning.
Ask Ace. It would be great if you talk to her.
This is an experiment and I look forward to the corrections.

Ask about 8-ball, 9-ball, One Pocket, straight pool, bank pool and snooker rules, and how WPA, BCA, APA and the Derby City Classic differ.

i love it.....
I guess if there's a shot clock, you could wait for it to expire. When it's your turn to play, you have to shoot a shot.
There is nearly always something you can do to make it harder for your opponent who will be getting ball in hand anyway. Knock a ball to the far end of the table. Knock two balls together.
