Rule 6. 9 Ball - Rule 7. 8-Ball
Rails Hit
A ball must either be pocketed, or a ball (including the cue ball) must touch a rail after a ball has been hit legally or else it is a foul.

This maybe the answer ????

regarding "speed" maybe this guy thought you play to slow ??? But if you have 1min on shot clock...then you have 1min to take shot  Smile

Thanks I didn't know that rule. A pity that stupid opponent couldn't have been a bit friendly. It is only play money!

You must be british or australian rules 8-ball player? The rest of the world doesn't play cute with snookering people.  Happy

Maybe he was brazilian? That explains the cryptic response  Happy

I had exactly the same thing happen to me! (Yes I am australian).

So snookering is a foul in the rest of the world?!?!?!?!
