He was out of line on his break at 168 and had to go two rails out of a foot corner. He barely touched the rack and went out to the middle of the table. He called a ball in the side and kicked to the back of the rack, but the ball missed by a lot. The rule (during a continuation after 60 points) on shooting a ball out of the rack in such a situation is that you are not allowed to call a ball from an undisturbed rack.

Bob, I think your thinking of the end of Archers run. Schmittys run ended when he got flat on the breakball and when he drew it, it got stuck in the side of the rack, he then took a flyer on a ball out of the stack which had been distrubed by the breakshot.

Hi Bill,

Quite likely. After a while my notes started being less verbose.
 
The rule (during a continuation after 60 points) on shooting a ball out of the rack in such a situation is that you are not allowed to call a ball from an undisturbed rack.

I'm sorry but I don't understand. Are you saying with either a 15 or 14 ball rack, undisturbed, I can't for example call the bottom corner ball in the cross side pocket 1 rail? I know it's a low percentage shot but I often play it out of desperation when way behind. This is not considered a legal shot once the score reaches 60 points total or is it the combined total of both players? I never heard of this rule before. Is this enforced in only BCA tournament formats? Thank You.

This rule was put in for this tournament only. It is only in effect when the 60 point game is over and the shooter is continuing on for the bonus money for a 100 and 150 ball run. The rule states that if the break ball is shot and the rack is not distrubered in any way than the shooter may not call a desperation ball from the rack (ex: corner ball cross corner). You may attemp this shot in the regulation game up to 60 points.
