In my club as well as, I guess, almost all other clubs in my city people don't follow these rules even after I have shown them the copy of official rules of IBSF and WPBSA displayed on their websites. They say these international rules are new and were not in the rules book many years before. Is it true ?
4. End of Frame, Game or Match
(a) When only the Black is left, the first score or foul ends the frame
excepting only if the following conditions both apply:
(i) the scores are then equal
They say that foul on Black after potting the last Pink will result in the loss of frame even if the striker was leading by 7 points before he committed the foul.
10. Snookered After a Foul
(d) If a ball on is potted, after the cue-ball struck the nominated ball first, or simultaneously with a ball on, the ball on is scored and remains off the table.
(e) If both the nominated ball and a ball on are potted, only the ball on is scored unless it was a Red, when each ball potted is scored. The free ball is then spotted and the ball on remains off the table.
Nobody knows about these 2 rules in free ball situation. They say it will be foul in both cases
