I think it is better if the players know the rules and play by them. Maybe it is a bad rule, but the players knew the rule going in (I assume they were told) and they had implicitly agreed to play by them.rules are you loose two games if you dump the nine after giving opponent the table back .
otherwise you can't in anyway get mad and push the nine down the hole because you missed the shot before
well Joey Cicero said he wanted to continue the match even though he won because Billy Thorp push the nine in the hole illegally
Do you think that was wise He Lost the Match LOL
The same rule -- a concession costs two games -- is used around here in some tournaments. It is in there for a reason. Most players have learned to abide by it. A tournament is different from an action match.
