Exception - When a player’s turn is finished that player has a maximum of 10 seconds to move away from the table. The player may then play any of the player’s own Colour, or the nominated ball. In a tournament setting, a first and Final Warning may be given once only, before the commencement of the days play, as a block warning to all players and spectators. Because it may not always be possible for the Referee to hear if a statement made to a player is advice, the Referee may issue the First and Final Warning on the grounds that any statement made to a player, other than general barracking, is deemed to be coaching. Once nominated, a ball is deemed to become one of the players Colour for the first shot of the first visit. That is, if one of the players own coloured group is an obstructing ball, it will be ignored for the purposes of determining a Snooker.

Should a team member or bona fide supporter of a player offer advice, the Referee will issue a first and Final Warning to that person that a repetition will result in the player being penalised via a Standard Foul. 11) Not moving away from the table within 10 seconds of the time that all the balls stopped moving from the final shot of a turn at the table. 10) Touching the table when not in control of the frame (see Definitions (9) Player in Control). 21) Players body or clothing touching any ball. 2) A player cannot be Snookered by a ball of the players own Colour. 17) After being awarded a Foul Snooker or Foul Jaw Snooker - Playing an opponents ball or the Eight Ball without firstly nominating that ball. 4) (a) (i) If the player chooses to play the Cue Ball from where it lies, the player may, if the player wishes, nominate the Eight Ball, (but see (5) below), or any one of the opponent’s Colour. 18) Playing a shot while not having at least one foot touching the floor.

3) A player cannot be Snookered on an Object Ball if the Cue Ball is touching that Object Ball. The object of Eightball is to sink all of your assigned balls (stripes or solids) into the pockets, and then - after declaring which pocket you’ll sink the Eightball - successfully following through. Exception- a shot played out of turn accidentally, that disrupts the balls to such an extentthat the Referee deems it impossible to replace them, the Referee will give the opponent the choice of either playing the balls from where they lie or replaying the frame. Please be assured though that your credit card number will not be saved for security reasons. Rubbish & recycling collection dates and methods will be specified in your arrival information & at the property. The Referee may ask for further information if any doubt exists as to which ball has been nominated. 2) If a player believes that a Foul Snooker exists, the player may ask the Referee for a ruling. 5) If an Object Ball is partly obscured by a curved section of a cushion (the Jaw) this in itself does not constitute a Snooker. Clearly the standard of Victoria University’s Legal Department and particularly the section that deals with ethics and the law is not what it once was.

If a straight section of a cushion is preventing the finest possible cut on the side of an Object Ball, Pool rules that section of cushion will be deemed not to exist for the purposes of determining a Snooker on that Object Ball. The Referee will replace the balls as near as possible to the position they were in before the Serious Foul was committed and award two visits to the opponent. 1) Definition:- A player is Snookered when it is impossible to play the finest cut possible on both sides of any of that players own Colour by way of a straight-line shot. 5) Committing a Serious Foul that disrupts the table to such an extent that the Referee deems it impossible to return the balls as close as possible to their original positions. Causing a beverage container or beverage to touch the table or enter the space directly above the table. 5) Deliberate Jump Shot caused by elevating the cue on the shot, and forcing the Cue Ball to rebound from the bed of the table and causing the Cue Ball to Jump over any ball. 22) Accidental Jump Shot, miscue, or when forcing the Cue Ball to a cushion and the rebound jumps a ball.
