[Alex0paul]

I have given up all hope on this round

That's what's getting me. For the first yellow to be a free ball red there's got to be a red on the table, but for the last yellow to stay down the red must have gone. This without any balls but the yellow and white moving.

Does he at any point inadvertently pocket the yellow when he should have potted a red, not realising that there is still a red on the table?

[chasmmi]

There are many possibilities. One is that he should be on the last red but doesn't see that it is there and inadvertently knocks in the yellow. The yellow is thus respotted and his opponent puts him in to play again. He repeats this error a further 4 times.

Wouldn't that be 5 misses in a row?

.... but I doubt that this is what you have in mind.

Is the first yellow a free ball, acting as a red? Maybe

After potting the 5th yellow, does it stay off the table? Yes

[davis_greatest]

out of interest should I said said sunk the yellow or what. what is the term for potting the wrong ball?

"Pocketing" (infinitive: "to pocket") can be used as a term to mean "forced to enter a pocket" - this would include both a "pot", which is legal, and causing a ball to enter a pocket illegally.

[Semih_Sayginer]

potting the wrong ball = potting the wrong ball

potting the wrong ball = making an ARSE of it

[chasmmi]

Ok when I say pot I just mean yellow goes in the pocket.

Only the whte and yellow mover,

only the yellow ever goes into a pocket.

The player can also see the yellow clearly in each shot, he is never snookered.

(sorry to be so late with this got called away.)

[davis_greatest]

Obviously fouling successively - e.g. knocking the yellow in with the white going in-off or playing a push shot - and his opponent putting him back in to play again, would be a possibility if these are being counted as pots.
