Two friends of mine (player A and player B) were playing a frame last night against each other when player A fouled and 4 points was awarded to player B. As player B could not hit the final remaining red as he was totally snookered on it ( the red was tucked in behind both the black and yellow balls by the black spot), he elected to play the pink as a free ball. He missed the pot and the pink came to rest near to the side cushion and the white was central near to the pink spot. Player A then approached the table and called a foul on player B. As he couldn't directly hit the red as it was behind the yellow and black, his only route to hitting the red was to play off the side cushion, however the pink ball ( which was the previous free ball chosen by player A) obstructed the path to play this shot. Player A claims that as the pink is preventing him from playing the only shot available to him to hit the red then he should be awarded 6 points and a free ball awarded to him?? Apparently he has since consulted with an official WPBSA official regarding this rule and claims he is right ... I am totally baffled by this, I would appreciate your feedback.
