I was not present for the players meeting. My information is second hand. I do not wish to offend any player. BUT............
several times during the two sets played Dennis Orcullo was hooked dead behind a ball. Dennis UNSCREWED his normal playing shaft and PUT ON HIS SPECIAL JUMP SHFT WITH SPECIAL TIP. After completing a successful jump, he put his REGULAR PLAYING SHAFT BACK ON then
he ran out. all this was in plain sight of the referee Ken Shuman. What were the rules in use at time concerning jump cues? Was this an oversight? We all know Ken was very tired from the past weeks activity and simply missed the call as Dennis did the removal and put back on very quickly. If the ruling was missed,it needs to be addressed clearly at other tournaments. If the ruling was correct so be it. Ken does a bang up job and his integrity can not be questioned
