Nutty, isn't it?!
this was a tournament not two playing in the poolroom.
in tournaments you use all the rules you can to win. there is no dick move it is a tournament move.
anytime you think a ruling may go your way, you call the ref. that is what he is there for.
i don't know what it should be, but the ball was scooped and went air born. right or wrong you should ask the ref.
and if you disagree with a ruling you try to state your case.

Your right, it was a Shaw move.
Richard was and should have never been involved.
But Shaw got outta his seat to tell the European MR ref to give em BIH, that's all.
And it worked. If the refs that good he would of Immediately called Foul.

Realistically guy pulls in what 52k playing pool?
What's the difference between a pizza and a pool player?
A pizza feeds a family of 4.
I'm think with sponsorship help he's doin' better than that.... If I had em on my payroll representing my billiard product, I'd confront him Now about his actions.
I wonder if sponsors now are paying expenses only or also including extra payroll cash to players- years ago the travel was mostly domestic and rooms/ etc were a much lower $ figure than it the costs today. A sponsor paying expenses to a world traveling player is already laying out big dollars.
Mosconi promotes him for being obnoxious
Birth to sprawling estates convenience package - it's all life support.
Big clue something aint right is used to be players endorsed the product. Now the product endorses the players.
Seriously you are upset because he was asking the ref to do his job? Fkt if you dont like the rule it obviously was a rule.
i know some years ago a top euro player got travel expenses + equipment/tables for his academy. but it will be tiered for sure. below the elite level it's probably more meager, unless you're very active promoting.
jayson it seems to me has never been as successful sponsor wise as his standing in the pool world merits. i don't know of any other players at his level that had to peddle cues like when he was sponsored by peri? that felt old school
I remember that. I was one of the TD's. My co-TD and the promoter wanted to delay the match for Steve and I told them it was a forfeit even if he read the board wrong. We were at an impasse and I agreed to let them ask you if it was okay to delay the match. He told me you agreed to it.
I saw so much bad officiating this year it made me sick. I kept thinking where do they find these guys. I found myself focusing more on the refs than the match. I had to laugh in one tournament where the wandering ref kept obstructing the play of players on the next table. She would stand right where they needed to be to get down on the next shot, and the player is left waiting for her to move. She actually bumped one player as she was walking by. He was just getting ready to get down on the shot. She was cute though so I understand why they hired her.
That's not a foul unless the cue tip contacts the cue ball twice. I didn't see that. I wouldn't have called it.
The click indicates foul contact.
Thanks ref
