Reply to comment by nexus6ca in UK Snooker Championship: Kyren Wilson's 'unbelievable' fluke by jimipops

You can't have the cue ball come off the table to bounce it over an intervening ball (you can in pool) but if balls start bouncing after impact that's not by itself a foul.

If balls don't end up on the table or in a pocket it's always a foul though.

Seriously? But it’s not like he tried to make the black ball do that, you can get screwed over if the table and other balls don’t cooperate with you?

It's just counted as a foul, nobody would ever tries to do a foul but they happen.

It's 7 pts because it's the black, if it was another colour the foul would be the value of that colour, with a minimum of 4 pts.
