Me and Dave Tooke are having a doscussion during an Oxford summer league game regarding the situation of the last ball. 1. What happens when the scorer puts the pegs in the 50 pockets but at an angle that it interferes with the path of the ball played off the cushion into the 100 pocket, clips the peg wire, and is guided into the pocket even though the ball was going to quite clearly miss? Does the score count? 2. What happens if we have a situation where the scorer does not adhere to the pegs in the pocket on the last ball rule, and the last ball is potted in the 50? Particularly if the player who pots it is winning and the opponent has to pot the last ball to win? Is there a case for deliberate foul and the score is wiped completely? Or is it seen as "tough s***" and the score stays as it as I could imagine it would if the losing player potted it? Sav or Tommo, dig out the constitution %

Hi
Rule 108 covers point 1. Score does not count.
Couldn't see anything that covered point 2 . I guess the answer would be . Don't play your last shot if the pegs aren't in place. This would then stop this situation from happening .

Agreed, and the second scenario is covered by AEBBA Rule 115:

Up to date rules are always available on the AEBBA website and cover the 'Accidental Interference' 114 and 'Deliberate Miss After Bar' 115 rules as others have pointed out.
However a deliberate miss carries no further score penalty and the score is not wiped completely.
There can be no loss of break or score if the offence is not listed in rules 110 or 111.
