If you've ever played in apa then you may have already guessed where this is going. He then proceeds to break a rack and at one point reaches into the pocket because he thought he was going to scratch. You can't really hear anything but he's pointing at someone and then doing some goofy air punches like he's miming beating the shit out of them. There's video of Earl having some sort of meltdown prior to the match or maybe between racks. I've also heard people claim that it's cue ball fouls only until you move your stick, but then it becomes all ball fouls mid-stroke? Maybe because the opponent gets no chance to put a ball back after it was moved? Anyway they probably need to simplify that rule.Įarl actually went pretty deep in the event and just beat Sossei, before going up against another local favorite, Bucky Souvanthong.

Turning Stone has a strange variation of cue ball fouls only, you can be called for a foul if you're jacked up over a ball and you caused that ball to move. They're also saying he won 42K playing craps and that might have influenced his decision.ĮDIT: This is what SVB had to say about it: a lil update: But he didn't make his next match I guess. The bracket doesn't show a forfeit, but rather a loss for Shane. the call went to him because no ref was called over to watch it. SVB called him on it, and spectators said it was a clear-cut foul, but I guess Jeremy disagreed. Jeremy was down on a ball and trying to draw for position, and during his stroke he somehow brushed the ball he was playing position for, maybe with his shirt.

Shane had three or four wins before going against Jeremy Sossei, a strong pro from new england. There may be some inaccuracies, this is based on what I can piece together from facebook.
