Answer 1

Make sure you don't ask any serious questions, if they come true, or on second thought, would it work for me if I asked a question, and maybe she''ll come around!.??

Answer 2

In my area (illinois) its pretty common that if this were to happen once you left the table or turned around, you in a sense gave up on the ball. and therefore should be re spotted at the point before it fell in. that is why if a ball hangs in the pocket I'll watch it until my opponent comes to the table. 3,5,10 second rules in my opinion don't apply if you don't give up on the ball.

Answer 3

Hey good shot Bill congrats

Was the ref counting?? my point to the other day bout it being a grey area call -When does 5 sec start and if a protest who's counting-A frequent ref's mistake

Answer 4

It occurs more often than one might think. That's why I always say stay at the table for at least 5-seconds. You never known what's going to happen.
