Holy $hit,,,, even Scott was smiling.... where did the cue ball go?

That is a foul. Cue ball off the table. Incoming player gets ball in hand.
Thanks for the funny post.

Shouldnt he be allowed to play a drop like in Golf?
That was awesome. :thumbup: I guess even if it had fallen back out of the light onto the table, it would still have been a foul:
8.5 Driven off the Table
A ball is considered driven off the table if it comes to rest other than on the playing surface but is not pocketed. A ball is also considered driven off the table if it would have been driven off the table except for striking an object such as a light fixture, piece of chalk or a player which causes it to return to the table.
A ball that contacts the top of the rail is not considered to have been driven off the table if it returns to the playing surface or enters a pocket.

Got it thanks 
Just click the play button in the viewing window above the chat,it will start,you can slide the slider over to fast forward. :wink:
I would assume for this to be considered a foul the light would have to have been set at a predetermined height. And Scott went beyond that when he broke. Same principle as going beyond the rails/boundaries of the table and flying the CB of the table. But what if the light was considered too low. We've all seen the breaks where the CB hits the rails top and makes it's way back on the table. So what if it did fall back on it's own, I don't see how this could be ruled a foul. The light isn't a standard unit by any means and isn't regulated by any pool sanction. So, I am curious what an official would rule on this.

What was one sided?Bigjohn said:Please... no more one sided coversations on open mic
That was some funny stuff. Thanks for posting the link.
I imagine the call would be a foul, just like if the cue ball jumped up on the rail and hit a piece of chalk and came back onto the table.
