Player B approaches the table, as he is half way down into his shot, the pink falls in the pocket. A foul was called and 6 points awarded to Player A. Great debate but nobody was sure what the ruling is, 3 seconds was mentioned, but others claimed this had now been overuled. Answers on a postcard please. |

The pink ball is replaced and Player B plays the next shot without penalty. There is no time limit specified in the rules, only the word "momentarily", as in "if a ball balances momentarily on the edge of a pocket........." |
