Quick question, if you pot on the break, can u talk to your partner before the next shot is played? Obviously now talking after the shot until the end of visit. But can you confer after the break off? |

Nope . . The breaker nominates if he/she pots and that's it . . As the visit has commenced there's no conferring

No you cant talk to your partner after the break shot and your partner has to nominate the colours that you are going to be.
Well thats is what myself and Donna were told when we smashed up Golden and Cocaine Katie.

you have to be able to confer, that's the way they do it on the tv...
people will confer one way or another wether it's by code, pointing or shouting 'go on son = to pot' or 'all night long = for a safety' so it's impossible to police hence you might as well allow it. it's half the fun anyway!!! |

No conferring. You can't confer in normal doubles - why should this be different. |

wot....
beacause this isn't normal doubles and is different!!!
both players are at the table at the same time so whether you like it or not somehow they will confer.
conferring is part of the whole scotch doubles concept!!! |

That's how they do it 'on the TV' with US 9-Ball . .
. . the last time I checked, today's tournament isn't US 9-Ball.
'On the TV', who nominates after the break? Oh of course it's an entirely different game so that rule doesn't apply does it . .

like i say, both players are at the table at the same time.
one way or another they will confer so it's impossible to stop.
i'm dissapointed i can't make the event as i know i'd be conferring somehow with my partner and there'd be nothing you could do about it!!!
if you try to stop it you will end up with a lot of arguments...
what is the penalty for being caught conferring?
