I hope this sort of thing is interesting to at least a few of you. I am constantly encountering new stuff I'm not sure of.
A few days ago I was playing a match, this time with a VERY good and experienced player, when he did something I'd never seen.
He had two balls lady, both outside the rack but close to the foot spot. He put the rack on the table to help him judge the position. He left it there as he shot his 14th ball and got shape for the break shot.
Nothing hit the rack during the shot so I said nothing and he continued. It's only a league match, it didn't change the outcome, and it's a pleasure to watch him play. No harm done.
After the match a few players discussed the issue and I claimed that in a refereed match this would be a foul. Others disagreed.
Opinions?
