COACHING
There are still some complaints of players coaching other players while they are playing their match. This is NOT allowed during play, so I have copied a portion of our Sportsmanship Rules as quick refresher.
Good Sportsmanship and League Play
Provided by the CCS - Canadian Cue Sport Association
It's the Good Sportsmanship displayed by everyone that makes League Play the fun and enjoyable experience that it's meant to be.
KNOW THE RULES It’s to your advantage and your opponent does have the right for the game to be played by all the rules, regardless of whether you know them or like them.
NO “SHARKING” – WIN ON MERIT, NOT GAMESMANSHIP What’s Sharking? Any unsportsmanlike act that serves to upset your opponent anytime during the game or their concentration while shooting. Here are a few examples you may have experienced yourself:
Creating Distraction
Talking loudly to others about the game or their opponent…
HANDLE DISPUTES THE RIGHT WAY Disputes will occur and almost all involve a foul stemming from lack of rules knowledge or a judgement call. If it’s a judgement call on a shot; take note that it will always go in favor of the shooter unless the opponent has exercised the right of having it refereed.
IT’S ALL ABOUT COURTESY AND RESPECT Do shake hands before and after a game….without having to chase you down. Do pay attention to the game….(no one else can call a foul).
Cheers
