It is called being nice.

Answer 5

Ettiquete.....common practice.....being nice........however the one that drives me crazy is the one that pulls them out after beating you for that game  and then "flips" them up in the air and slamming them loudly to the table......kinda like the one that takes the storage rack full of balls and flips the rack over slamming all 16 balls on the table........."Macho Man" I guess!!.......and for the record this isn't "tennis" we don't have ball boys or ball girls!!

Answer 6

Pool players at all levels tend to be very down to earth people.  They have tremendous respect for the game, the tournament officials, and their fellow competitors.  Also, the winner happens to be the one at the table when the game is over, so why not just help pick up the balls?  M.D.-BCA Instructor/Referee.
