Even the full-cue jumps should be illegal.
All that jumping disturbs the powder in the cloth.

When I was on the road, I would tell them they could mark anything they wanted....
...they could even hire a surveyor.
The last thing I wanted to see was a guy like Efren, who looked at the table like every
square inch was his personal friend.
When I clicked the link I got a page that said "Your copy of Safari is missing important software resources. Please reinstall Safari." This has never happened before. So, I just abandoned it and moved on.
Wow, I can't believe he threw that powder all over the table like that!
I watched players at the wps tourney over the weekend going for what looked
like powder every 2-3 shots, but they all were using gloves ! ?
Whats up with that?

Take it for what it's worth, but I heard if one uses
minimal or very little powder, nothing is going to
be said. I heard it was targeted at some that use
a lot of powder and leave a big mess behind after
their match. Don't shoot the messenger, just read
it on facebook from someone who stays in contact
with the big dog of the DCC.
As for me, I've never really been a powder guy, but
my dad always was. I prefer the Allison Fisher method
of washing your hands, get a super damp paper towel
or cloth to clean the hand sweat off of the shaft, and
then go back over it with a dry paper towel or cloth. It's
always worked well for me. Summer time and humidity
in the pool room can make you do it a little more than
usual, but other than that it's great and there is no mess.

Pat,
What are the full dates for your Tournament? I have to move quick where I work at when scheduling time off.
Thanks,

Hey what about chalk ?
Chalk gets all over the table, hands and is a big mess. Surely there
is a no chalk tip or rubber tip or something. I always play barefoot
and stepping on those cubes of chalk that some uncaring person
left on the floor can really hurt. And on top of that I am OFFENDED.
I don't like chalk or the loud noise the balls make hitting together
either. All these gloves make me sad, I think of Michael Jackson,
so everyone must stop that too.

Second removing one foul BIH rule, that definitely takes away the aggressive enjoyable offense game. Chalk is ok in some cases where the player uses it very sparingly.
So cheating is OK?
The New "No Powder" Rule
I don't know if you know, but Efren puts the chalk side down, and I believe that SVB puts the chalk side to the side, and not facing up. Both which can cause a mess -- one to the table and one to the player's hands (if SVB's opponent's grabs his chalk)

It's on the WPA calendar for Mon. Oct. 28 through Sat. Nov. 2, 2019. That would be 6 days instead of the 7 days for the 2018 event (Sun. through Sat.). So I don't know whether that is accurate.
Me either.

How about Phenolic tips?
But be careful, CF cues might be on the list of no, nos too...
You seem to be equally as worked up about it.
You've had like 30yr to adapt to 1-foul.
Here from the DCC website:
"Dress Code Requirements
Required
Cotton or dress slacks; blue or colored jeans; collared shirts; dress shoes or tennis shoes. All items must be neat and untorn. If you are playing on the Accu-Stats table, your shirt must have a collar and you may not wear headphones or an iPod.
Allowed
Hats, worn in their normal manner; dress-type sweaters; Henley shirts without collars; headphones or iPods.
Prohibited
T-shirts (long or short sleeve); warm-ups; sweat pants; shorts; tank tops; open-toed shoes; sandals; flip-flops; Bluetooth or similar type earpieces.
Players reporting to their match out of dress code will be given a verbal warning from the tournament director and must rectify the problem before their next match. A second violation results in forfeiture of their next match."
