You cannot prolong the game to hurt your opponent since when you are at the table, you are on your timeMy problem is them being up by two games and then intentionally prolonging the game to win on a technicality. I definitely see your point./
and your opponent’s time remains unaffected by how long you take. All you do is run down time on your
clock, not your opponent’s. And the game would turn into rapid transit chess. Just shoot and play safeties
whenever your opponent gets low on his remaining time. In rapid transit chess, you just start shoving pieces
on the board when you start running out of time. That is not chess. It is last man standing and it can be amusing
to play but it’s hardly chess. It’s called beat the clock, not your opponent. The only time restriction in pool should
be you have 45 seconds from the moment your opponent misses and the cue ball stops rolling to get out of your
chair, walk to the table and shoot…….at 46 seconds, if you haven’t shot, you surrender the table back as is. The
2nd time violation results in ball in hand for your opponent for the remainder of that single game. This is how the
game should be played……fast paced and with penalties for slow play……it doesn’t take 15 seconds to walk to
the pool table to reach the cue ball. While at the table you have 30 secs. to shoot your shot & every shot thereafter.
