FOUL AND MISS RULE

Modified Foul and Miss Rule – as adopted by the Association at the 2011 AGM will be used during the upcoming handicap snooker competition.

The new rule states:

The pre-existing Foul and Miss Rule is suspended from all future BSAACT competitions, and is replaced by the following:

“A Foul and a Miss can only be called if the player can actually see the entire object ball directly, but fails to contact it.” (All other incidents will incur a Foul)

If a modified Foul and a Miss is called, the opponent has the option of having the balls replaced, playing the balls as they lay, or sending in the player again.

Captains, please apply this rule to all games during the summer competition.
