I wouldn't mind if they did away with the jump shot altogether,like snooker.

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

Not powder but chalk.
Sometimes if i have to land the rock exactly near a rail i will chalk my cue and set the chalk on the rail where i need the rock to land.
Legal?
I dont think so but if my opponent doesn't say anything oh well.
If you're trying to access the link from your smarty-phone, your app may be choking on the time stamp. Smarty-phone browsers seem not to handle the time specs correctly.
Not only is that link bogus - 'youtu.be' - but once you fix the domain name, the content isn't found.
Here's a video of Lassiter powdering up for a shot: https://youtu.be/yY2dUuMj8q8?t=166
I noticed that there's been some discussion recently on the Forums regarding powder not being allowed at the Derby City Classic event this coming week.
Let it be known that The International 9-Ball Open scheduled for October 28, 2019 has, by some coincidence, independently established that same policy for its event.
The tables and balls will be cleaner than ever.

I wear a glove now, but I prefer bare handed and using baby powder.
If they are going to get rid of things, they should get rid of jump cues, chalk that sticks all over the cue ball, one-foul BIH, and other stuff...not baby powder.

I think anyone that is caught placing the chalk, chalk-side down on the rail, should be immediately banned from the event.
Pat,
What are the full dates for your Tournament? I have to move quick where I work at when scheduling time off.
Thanks,

If this is true, it is so silly in my opinion.
It's up to him, of course, if he wants to shoot pool and gamble or stay home and try to sell some cars.
Guess how much sleep will be lost over his absence....
People get bent over the darndest things sometimes.

Personally I wish they would add a simple dress code like dress pants/jeans and a shirt with a collar or something basic like that to end all the sweat pants, ratty t-shirts, and hats.
