Just reposting this again in case anyone wants to comment on the rule or argue against my memory that the rule was intentionally specifying the timing of the warning.
I only remember this because I was really irritated when they first made the rule, and I was afraid it would be picked up everywhere.

If run-on sentences were straight pool runs?
....you just ran 97...
he's not on two consecutive party fouls, though.
and no tourney i know of has a one foul rule.
: )
True. I guess if you're a fast mover, it could only take a couple of seconds, which makes this whole timing requirement aspect of the rule even worse.
By the way, what is this quote that shows up at the end of each of your posts supposed to mean? Is is something for women and children to enjoy reading? I'm hoping that maybe it means something completely unrelated to women.
"Amazing how much juice would come out of that hot little body."

I am pretty sure I was the first person to call Danny a douche and, for that, I appologize. I certainly didnt mean to get anyone banned for using my description. I think in a later post I alos described what he did as "douchbaggery" which is probably not allowed either altough, TECHNICALLY, that is just describing his actions and not really calling him a douche so who knows. Just glad he is not my neighbor.

Talking about timing, there's always the problem of the speed racer who follows you around the table and is Right There Ready to Shoot if you miss.
How do you warn him he's on two if he doesn't ever need to "approach" the table? True, that's more gambling than tourneys, but it sometimes happens in tourneys, too...

It's a world standardized rule. You should email the WPA for a clarification.
But the mods are not required to warn Bob that he's "on two" when he posted "Drop Dead, A-Hole" to Mr. Wilson's warning.

They are the North American rep for the WPA so it should be the same.

It's a quote from one if my favorite posters on this site. It makes me laugh every time I read it so I made it my signature.
Is he a foreigner who doesn't speak English very well?
The foreign guy told DH he was on two, probably didn't understand English enough to realize what DH said in reply and DH proceeded to take advantage of the language barrier.
What's interesting is the number of people saying they would have done the same thing.
By the way, I saw a guy rake the balls after dogging a shot once in a ring game which was down to the last three players. The argument that followed was one of the best I've seen.
For a PRO tournament, yes.
If I'm just playing because I have nothing else to do that day, I'd probably ignore that.
If it was a situation if I win I'm in the money, I'd call it.
I don't believe Harriman was unsportsmanlike or douchey, because he tried to explain the rule, which he did not need to do, but the language barrier interfered, which I think he didn't realize. By that point, since he had explained the rule, it was difficult to ignore or reverse what he had just said.
Sure, at the point where he got back to the table and his opponent didn't say anything, he could have said "never mind," but he would have had to contradict what he just explained a few moments earlier.
You could argue it would be douche-baggy if he had just sat there, which he could have done by the rules, but I think he went out of his way to be sportsmanlike, and then was just trying to be consistent.

Interesting way to look at it, certainly a possibility.
