Question about touching table

[graemehanson@talktalk.net]

We play three ball snooker tournaments on a Monday eve at our local club. There is a black and a red (on the pink spot). The winner is the person who pots the black following any player who has potted the red. There are two players. Normal snooker rules apply other than the order is pot the red then the block.

So here is the question : Player A hits he red and it rests in the jaw of a pocket which leaves it litterally on the edge. The player retreats and player B approaches the table and taps the wooden part above the. The red ball then falls into the pocket and it is deemed as a fowl by the referee. In our three ball game a fowl forfits the match.

Is the fowl correct? Thanks in dvance.

It's a foul, yes. If he hadn't touched the table, player A would return, but if he tounched the table, then it's a foul I think.

Hope this helps

Something similar to this was posted the other day, if the ball fell as player B approaches, player A doesnt return, as he has deemed to have finished his turn, but the ball is replaced on the edge of the pocket and player B is free to take his shot (i think)
