ROUND ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-THREE

Which players last contested a match in a ranking tournament on February 29? (I am looking for four players, as there were two matches on that evening.)

[Cyril]

Parrott, Doherty, Swail, Hendry.

[The Statman]

Parrott, Doherty, Swail, Hendry.

You can have ¼ point for that! One out of four.

[Cyril]

Hicks, Chappel, Parrott, Harold.

ROUND ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-THREE

I am cancelling that round as Cyril's ¼ point is insufficient, I feel.

Let's try this one.

I am thinking of a particular circumstance in which the referee might alter the position of a ball/balls that are in play (i.e. not including when a ball has entered a pocket/landed on the floor).

One obvious example is when a Miss is called, the referee of course replaced the balls to their position before the shot.

But which circumstance am I thinking of?

[davis_greatest]

Perhaps if he finds he has put the wrong ball on a spot? E.g. put a red on the brown spot and the brown is still in the pocket?

(I assume you are excluding the case where a ball has dropped into a pocket, having been resting on the edge for a while, without being knocked?)

I'd say a re-rack

[snookersfun]

...replacing a colour away from it's own spot? (no, that would have been in the pocket first, wouldn't it?)

[The Statman]

No, it is none of the above. It is quite obscure!

[rambon]

Mine could have been right though... no pot involved.

Is it if the cloth is damaged under where a ball comes to rest? The ball will be removed, the cloth repaired and the ball replaced....

[snookersfun]

when some foreign object falls on the table

[rambon]

when some foreign object falls on the table

What about a British object?

Sorry

[snookersfun]

what about if the cue-ball is angled (after a foul)?
