In World Rules pool... a player breaks off and pots a yellow. He nominates yellows and before he plays a stroke he commits a foul. The (qualified!) referee calls 'open table, two visits'. The non-offender comes to the table and pots a yellow, splitting all the balls nicely in the process. The original offender pipes up and says' 'but I'm yellows'. What happens next?
Now the referee was wrong to call the 'free table'. Because the breaker potted off the break and nominated the colour he potted, then he was yellows, regardless of the foul he committed. The non-offender was, therefore reds when he came to the table.
The player can't now be expected to switch to reds and the offender surely can't be left with the advantage of having had his opponent pot one of his balls. So, the two options are (IMHO) to replace the balls to where they were, or, if that is not feasible, to re-start the frame. Any thoughts?
