Reminders - During League Play
CONFERRING
Players may confer only before the first stroke of the striker’s turn. Players may not confer after the first stoke of the striker's turn. Remember that the conferring rule was brought in to speed up play. Conferring on every turn, analyzing every possibility before deciding to take the ‘obvious’ shot can be very time wasting. Other time wasting, counting and spotting is OK.
SLOW PLAY
The International Billiard & Snooker Federation even added this comment to the end of the rule: “We find (e) ignored in a lot of league play resulting in slow plan. We highly recommend that (e) be enforced to speed up play ….”

SECTION 4. THE PLAYERS
1. Time Wasting
If the referee considers that a player (or in our case pair) is taking an abnormal amount of time over a stroke or the selection of a stroke, he shall warn the player (or in our case pair) that he is (they are) liable to have the frame awarded to his (their) opponent(s). Let’s keep play moving!
COUNTING & SPOTTING
The striker’s partner may assume the duties of counting and spotting for their partner. Counting must be done out loud. If the striker’s partner is spotting and counting and accidentally touches or moves a ball; THIS IS NOT A FOUL. In such circumstances the opponents will have the last say in replacing any ball moved by the striker’s partner. If a ball is close to a spot and is moved when the striker’s partner attempts to spot a colour ball, the opponents will have the last say as to whether the colour ball can be properly spotted on that spot. IF there is another ball very close to a colour spot, it is RECOMMENDED that you:
- call a referee/observer, or;
- ask the opponents to spot the colour ball, or;
- ask the opponents to closely observe the spotting of the colour ball.
