Spotted ball in the big match with Dennis and Scott

[Frank Almanza]

The table in use for this match has a ball return. I want to know where they are keeping their pocketed balls?
I noticed at lease a couple of times when Dennis pocketed a ball at the far end of the table and it has to go on the spot that Dennis brought up another ball to spot and not the ball that was made. That should be the only ball in the ball return box. Did he reach for a ball out of his tray?

Scott asked him to spot the original ball that was a light colored ball and Dennis complied. Of course each time he did this he spotted a dark solid ball like the six or seven. And when a stripe ball was involved he was careful to put the darker side toward Scott.

Was this on purpose or coincidence? If on purpose he's a sneaky little devil, but I don't blame him.

Each have a yellow ball tray from what I have seen. Not sure if they are on the floor or in the return tray???

on purpose. absolutely. be mindful how those balls are spotted. and don't ever, ever (talking to you mitch ) leave your opponent a sloppy/target spot.

good eye from da barber.....

of course you try it. and if the fool accepts it he gets the shaft.
just like letting someone arrange the balls for the break when he is racking for himself. i would never let a good player rack for himself or arrange balls.
also try to put spotted balls slightly lower as most undercut a ball.
of course for 10 bucks a game with a square shooter you should never do any of this stuff.
