Thoroughly enjoying the snooker - some brilliant play and the commentating is outstanding. Watching the Williams-Vafaei match at one point mark Williams missed the red he was aiming for on two occasions - he was warned that if he missed a third time he would forfeit the frame. Yet a few shots later in the same frame he missed the ball he was aiming for - (missed all balls) - did this four times until he finally hit a red. Why was he allowed to carry on and not forfeit the frame after three misses?
Not seen the instance but usually the ref takes into account the difficulty of the shot in question, so if the ref thinks there is an easier option they can call it.
If you're completely snookered it will take some getting out of. If there's an open red you're expected to hit it. Keeps it competitive. That's how I understand it
On the second occasion he was snookered. So he can have as many goes as he wants. If he can see the object all full on he only gets 3 chances
