Not sure if this has been answered before. While playing a frame today, my opponents shot on a red resulted with the ball resting on the lip of the pocket. As he rounded a table corner he nudged the table and the ball dropped. This is pretty clear in that I believe the point doesn't count and the next shot would be mine. However, if the ball remained over the pocket and I addressed the cue ball to take the shot on that red and before stroking the ball falls into the pocket....what would be the result? Would the ball be respotted in the original position or would it count and take a shot on another red?
