A couple of rule questions..

Postby rocketfan

HI.

When player A does a foul, and player B can see right side of one red, and left side of another red, is that a free ball ?
(he can't see both sides of one red in this case)

The other day my opponent used black as a free ball, but then played a red after (he forgot black was free ball :-D ) In other words he handed my some points for the foul. My qu. is, what is the penalty ? I assume it's 7 points.

Thanks

Yes that was a 7 point foul and it was a free ball if he couldn't hit left side and right side of the same red

Yes if you play a free ball colour and pot it as a red then your break is 1, then if you go for a red forgetting it was a free ball it's the maximum penalty i.e. 7 point foul. The colour of free ball you take is irrelevent because it's an extra red for that one shot (assuming there are reds left on the table).
