This has been pointed out before, but some seem to have missed it the first time around....
The CSI call-shot rules are very strict. Here is what the CSI rulebook has to say:
Here is the CSI list of non-obvious shots:
The shot was a combination, and therefor absolutely required to be called. I think the CSI rules are very, very clear. The ball was not called. The rule book makes a really big deal about it. Maybe players should pay attention to what the rule book says.
This is how eight ball is played in CSI since eight ball is a call-shot game in the CSI rule book. I assume that nearly every BCAPL and USAPL player knows that the shot in question had to be explicitly called to count.
The CSI call-shot rules are very strict. Here is what the CSI rulebook has to say:
When playing call shot games, remember that shots defined as not obvious, and safeties,
must be explicitly called. There are no exceptions under any circumstances, regardless
of how simple or obvious the shot may appear. There may be other types of shots that
must be called as well, depending on the circumstances. Also, please be sure to
communicate clearly with your opponent when playing a safety. The Rules and Applied
Rulings have additional guidance for calling shots and safeties.
Here is the CSI list of non-obvious shots:
The following types of shots are exceptions and are defined as being "not obvious":
a. bank shots;
b. kick shots
c. combination shots;
d. shots that include caroms, kisses or cushion contacts that are not incidental;
e. any shot judged as not obvious by the referee.
