Stupid rules

i smell a fix
mommasbaby22 2 years ago
I hate to say this but this looks fixed. Why does Moore take 3 scratches when he is way ahead with time running out? He had a pretty easy safe. Plus, he waits until time is almost out than hangs up the last ball for Crane to pocket and win. I think he let Crane win. Probably TV wanted it that way plus the outcome was more exciting.

There is no need to assume it was a fix since Moore misses his first safety shot - after that, his next safety or scratch will cost him more than his lead is worth (don't have a rule book for Ten-Twenty, but believe it costs him another 6, which is why he trails 18-19 after he messes up his next safety attempt - but again, he would have either way, as the TV rules imply an automatic penalty for playing more than one safety in a row, so all he can do now is to avoid opening up any more balls).

There are more videos of Ten-Twenty TV broadcasts out there, a friend of mine has some (some of which again have Irving Crane in them), so even without a rule book it would probably be possible to piece the rules together - but the important thing to understand is the choice between the three options "Whispering" Joe Wilson explains along the way: Safety, Scratch and Shoot-Out. The player needs to call his option, and cannot use the first two subsequently without the point penalty going up.
