Here is a rule highlighted in yellow which a lot of mid Sussex players can't seem to comprehend so it's in black and white for you all to see I heard that someone from mid Sussex called a foul on someone for rolling up to a ball that was near the bulk line even though he hit the ball
The same thing happened tonight where a player rolled up to the ball as he didn't want to lose the break he had got as the game was close and they tried to say it was a foul please everyone have a set of rules in each pub as you should do but also read them first
AEBBA Rules, Page 8 of 12
f) Knocking down a white skittle with a ball.
g) Deliberately touching or knocking down a white skittle with cue or hand while the balls are in motion or before a ball has fallen completely down a hole.
(Reason - prematurely to avoid penalty, could just pick up the peg and put it back).
h) Playing a shot while balls are still in motion or before a ball has fallen completely down a hole.
i) The player interfering with the movement of any struck ball before it has completely fallen down a hole.
j) Accidentally knocking the cue ball off the "D" with the cue. The cue ball will not be considered to be in play until it is completely clear of the "D" and the baulk line as in b) above and d) above.
k) Hitting the cue ball after it has left the "D" (double hitting / push shot).
l) Not using the red ball, when available, at the red ball spot, at the break shot.
m) Causing a ball resting on the lip of a hole to drop by deliberately disturbing the table.
n) Playing the break shot with either ball not on its spot. It is not a foul under this rule if the ball falls off the spot as the player is in the act of striking. Any other penalty incurred will count.
o) If the cue ball fails to reach an imaginary line through the black peg and parallel with the top cushion and does not strike another ball, it will be returned to the tray and the player loses his break. (This does not apply to the last ball of the game).
