push rule

[snope]

I was playing 9 ball I broke.... my opponent pushed I passed ....he then used the ctrl T to change the turn because he didnt have a descent shot ...so what im thinking is does this to be changed so you wont be able to ctrl T....I was wondering about vp4...thanks Jerry

What you do in that situation is ask your opponent if he understands the rules of 9ball....explain what hes doing is wrong and that he has to shoot.
If he doesnt understand that then leave him for the numpties to play.

The Ctrl and T option availability in this case should be disabled,so in one way i agree that locking that option off during the push out phase would soon have sorted your playing buddy.

I agree as far as the "numpty" analysis goes.

If you disable CTL T during pushout you'd have to generally disable it.
What if someone if playing just a regular shot, makes it, hooks themselves and then changes the turn to the other player.. same situation.

To a certain degree we have to rely on people following the rules.

In that situation...
I'd just give the shot back to him, explain the rules, and if they still don't want to shoot, just leave the room.

yes leaving the room is an option ...I hope vp4 will address this issue though.....thanks for your replys...Jerry
