White ball rule query

Post by Tony-T »

After Tuesday's claim that I picked up the white. Of course, I had to look it up.
6f Loss of frame fouls↑
(1) Deliberately not playing a ball from their own group first, or an on-ball after a foul.
(2) Unsporting behaviour / bringing the game into disrepute.
Including but not exclusive to:
(a) A second offence for Foul language (A verbal warning is given for the first offence) OR
(b) Throwing a cue around / unscrewing as if to concede OR
(c) Continually arguing with the referee or opponent OR
(d) Interfering when the opponent is on the shot, either verbally or physically.
(3) Committing a foul in the same shot that the eight-ball is potted. (Except on the break)
(4) Potting the eight-ball when a ball or balls of the player's own group are still on the table. (Except on the Break) Including potting the last group ball and eight-ball in the same shot.
(5) A player who clearly and intentionally fails to attempt to play a ball of their own group.
(6) Potting the eight-ball legally, then proceeding to move the remaining balls before they have come to rest.
(7) Deliberately striking the cue ball with any part of the cue other than the tip in general play. Positioning the cue ball with the cue is allowed as long as the tip of the cue is not used.
(8) Deliberately striking any ball other than the cue ball with any part of the cue or cue tip.
(9) [highlight]Deliberately moving a ball(s) that were not played as part of a shot.

You'd have to be a total prat to enforce that in the circumstances.
