I played for many years where jumping an object ball off the table was not a foul, but somewhere down the line that rule was changed (for the better) and an jumping an object ball off the table is a foul and will be treated as such.
When you foul, all balls pocketed will not count as pocketed balls and and all fouls will be treated as such, including an object ball off the table.
Billy I.
The rule is a completly stupite rule and makes no sense And If a Player makes your ball and a ball jumps the table I guess his ball gets spoted up.
The Rule has been good for a 100 years and thier is no real atvantage to jumping a ball off the table.
And What if you jump the cue ball and the object ball off the table. I guess it should cost you the game. Because a double foul in a game the award the player the game.
So what if 2 or 3 balls jump the table how many balls do you owe?
And in nine ball If you make a ball or two on the brack. and a ball jumps the table what happines?
THe rule is a dumb rule and i cant see one good thing about it. Maybe someone can tell me whats so good about the rule.
And another stupied rule is in nine ball you cant push out. Why not the other player gets his choice weather he wants too shoot it or not.
And thier have been too many dumb rules made too speed up the game.
And everything is cue ball in hand or cue ball in hand behind the line. ITs a complete joke. And shooters are never going too see thier is more too the game then just shooting.
THier is stratage and manovering and thats all taken out off the game. Thier is no more defese its all offense. Yet the lock you up playing nine ball were you have no chance to hit the ball or play safe.
And the get cue ball in hand. If they want too play by those stupied tournement rules fine.
Then make the other rule to make it a better game. And its stupied too watch a player role behind the eight ball were the player has no chance too hit the ball. And get cue ball in hand.
Who wants too watch taht its not even a game its a joke. Their is no skill or shooting involved its all taken out off the game.
And if they want too play by those rules. To speed up the game and give the weacker players a better chance too win. I guess the made it happen.
THe truth is the rules should not be changed to help the weacker player. If you are the weacker player than get your ass up thier and learn too play. So you can play with the good players.
If you are the better player nobody should have the wright to change a rule too help the weeker player
And take away from the better player. THe rules that have been changed are for the worst not for the better.
And Instead off just hearing the rules are better. Post why and what makes them better.
And I tell it like it is I dont have too butter up too anyone. Because the are running the tournament. Or its thier tables or I anounce for someone.
I have no motive but too tell the truth that the people will see. And I said that a object ball off the table should not be a foul.
Do it like I said and let everyone vote. Instead off one guy saying this and I say this. It goes back and fort and its all a waiste off time and nothingb geta acomplished.
Vote on it. And then if the majority off people want too play by the rule a object ball off the table is a foul then thats what they play by.
And If I gamble with some one thier will not be a stupite rule a ball off the table is a foul. And why would you want too hit a ball off the table too start with.
Like its something easy too do. What shot does it show up were its so important. You might watch 100 games and never see a ball go off the table.
And shooting a ball off the table you loose your shot any way. Because you have too make a ball too keep shooting.
But its real simple vote on the rulle and dont let someone make a rule thats clue less.
Or because off TV or speeding up the game. Do you want too shoot craps. Or do you want the better player to win. The game off pool was made so the better player wins .
NOt too let the weacker player win because the make the rules weacker too help the better player.
Real simple vote on the rule. That cant be no fairer. And dont show who voted for what rule. To sway people who dont no witch wat to vote. To follow a player the like or thier friend.
The voting must be held cofidential. And in nine ball I will lay 7 to 5 that 60 or more players will vote too play role out nine ball. Even the weacker players.
And If they vote on a object ball off the table is or is not a fowl. They will vote it should not be a foul. And I would like too her why its a better rule a foul on a object ball off the table.
And what happines if a player makes your ball and jumps a ball off the yable. You dont get credit for the ball he made for you. or does he get the ball. That makes the rule even dumber. Why would you get the ball on a foul. I never herd off someone getting a ball on a foul.
But lets vote. And see what happines. THis vote could be pretty close. But ehy would smeone shoot a object ball off the table? Unlessthe are trying to scratch on purposec and then they have too get they cue ball too jump the table or sctatch in the pocket.
I would like too see a good example were this comes into play.
