The Right Call?

[SeniorTom]

Shane's winning shot was as obvious as his previous 5 shots. Nit pickish.

As usual, Hu is dead on.
Prior dealings, or a course of conduct, has been cited for hundreds of years as providing controlling precedent in determining the intent of parties to later transactions. Further, silence can often be deemed as communicating consent.

You a lawyer or did you google that shit??

The whole 'gotta call 10b even when obvious to blind moron' rule is still nitty as fk. Manny took too many shots to the dome to be making up pool rules.

Rules, Rules, Rules . . . was Alcano compelled to accept the win? Are referees supposed to intercede absent a request of a player? I always understood that referees functioned, essentially, in a laissez faire manner -- players governed their own games until they could not. Even if the referee was within his province, what was to stop Alcano from being a stand-up guy and saying "I heard him call the 10" or otherwise refusing to accept the ruling? Many folks that I grew up with would tell you that the definitive example of a nit is someone who exploits a technicality to win. * Rules are necessary and very important, but some things are more important than rules.

It's your turn at the table. All you want to do is execute your pattern and run out. You get in that groove and it is just sink this one and on to the next. The REF was watching Shane the entire time. I think REF had to react b/c of Alcano. 5-3 goes to 6-3 in a race to 9. A pivotal moment in the match.
