Ball leaving the bed of the table

[joefoxon]

I've noticed that the rule regarding a ball leaving the bed of the table isn't necessarily specific enough for a game we want to promote to a wider audience. Technically any shot that lands in a hole will result in a ball leaving the bed of the table. As such I'd like to propose (well in advance of the AGM) the following as a "white pin" foul:

If a ball leaves the bed of the table and mounts a cushion or lands outside of the confines of the table

Hi Joe

This is the rule which relates to this which is included in the list of fouls which incur loss of break.
Not really sure what your proposing to change

e) Any ball mounting the cushion or leaving the table, even if it falls back on the playing surface. The ball should be returned to the rack. It is not a foul shot if a ball bounces upwards and returns to playing surface without touching anything apart from another ball.

Wow, I completely misremembered what it said, I guess it doesn't change anything then! Never mind :)
