    • @anferneeleung694
      @anferneeleung694 Pƙed rokem +8

      Usually the line of what shots need to be called or not is whether you can direct pot the lowest numbered ball on the table and whether the pocket it'll be going in is the only pocket the ball can be potted without hitting any rails or other numbered ball. As Mika wasn't trying to pot the 5 (lowest numbered ball) and not trying to pot the 5 directly into the corner pocket(the only pocket available without hitting other numbered balls or rails), he has to call the shot. Therefore it would be Mika's fault if he didn't call the 9 ball in the side pocket.
      If some obvious combo is considered "obvious shot", it would've been a bigger controversy cuz De Luna could claimed that it wasn't a direct pot of 5 ball hence not a straight forward shot while Mika thought that it was a straight forward shot as 5-9 combo is already lined up. And the referees would be in a tough spot as referee shouldn't be the one who decides the match and rather they're just there to make sure players are following the rules and treat both players equally. Yes I know this is "dirty" or unsportsmanlike but this is what could happened and what's needed to be avoid.

    Communication is key. In a situation like that, the ref has to be more diligent and pay attention to what the player is doing. The fact that it’s so evident should make it even easier to claim that he didn’t call the shot (if it’s clear in the rules that the player MUST “verbalize” combinations) and this whole ordeal would have been as easy as, “I was waiting for you to call the combination, and you didn’t.” But instead.. the lack of attention from the ref really made this situation involve both players, when it really shouldn’t have.

    Listen to this with headphones on. Though the shot was obvious, the recording shows that Mika did not call the 9-Ball. Mika could've gestured to the 9-Ball too, off-camera, where we couldn't see it. There's a reason rule books are written. I believe the refs weren't paying attention but I've got no proof. Yes, De Luna was sharking but Mika would've done the same thing. If there is any uncertainty, you've got to go by the rulebook. Sharking or not, technically, De Luna was correct and the refs made the wrong decision. The refs should've showed both players the tape.

      "Push for it?" He did that AFTER Mika screamed at him. And he has every right to talk to the ref, to push for whatever as long as it is done respectfully. What players don't have the right to do is scream at their opponents.

    It looks like Jeff was trying to say that he didn't hear anything - underscoring the ref's initial thought that he hadn't called the shot.

      Fue un mal entendido sguido por falta de profesionalismo de parte de todos, la reglas comunes de estos torneos es que si vas a tirar a una bola indirecta, ya sea de rebote, de carambola o de combinacion el jugador en turno debe anunciar la bola que intenta meter, en esta caso Imonen(azul) tiro la combinacion 5-9 pero el referi no escucho con claridad y marco foul, Immonen inmediatamente lo nego diciendo que anuncio la bola 9, aqui es cuando De Luna(rojo), que al parecer tampoco lo escucho haber anunciado la bola 9, le pidio al referi que sostubiera el foul a lo que el referi decidio revisar el video para saber si la bola 9 fue anunciada o no. Despues de revisar el video el referi sedio el tiro a Immonen ya que si anuncio la bola 9. Aqui es cuando las cosas se salieron de control por que Immonen le grito a De Luna y este se enojo tratando de revertir la decision del referi y se hizieron de palabras.
      La verdad fue falta de profesionalismo de todos aqui, Immonen debio haber mantenido la calma y pedirque se revisara el video, De Luna se quizo aprobechar de la situacion ya que si el tiro no era legal tenia la oportunidad de acabar con esa mesa y potencial mente la que sigue ganando la partida, igualmente que en pool profesional es de honor darle el beneficio de la duda a tu contrincante, en esta caso De Luna se debio quedar callado y esperar que el referi revisara el video y tomara la decision en vez de atacar al otro jugador, y el referi por Ășltimo, y el mas importante ya que su trabajo es estar alerta de todos los movimientos de los jugadores en esta caso Immonen anuncio la bola 9 pero debido al ruido y la falta de atencion del referi este no lo escucho y empezo todo el problema.

Same thru with boxing even if your corner surrenders only the ref can stop the fight. I just dont know how they work this thing out in this tournament maybe they have a different set of rules.
