Snooker In Agility

[Chezy]

Even in excellent one time I stopped mid-course and asked for clarification when he diagonally jumped the spread (through the side and over the rear jump) and I didn't know if it was a refusal under normal rules (therefore timewasting in games) or if I had to go to another colour or a red.

Another thing many people forget is that there are no refusals in games so if they miss a weave entry you can put them back in and still qualify. If they get the entry and pop then you are gone though and need to go to another red.

Did the judge tell you to re-attempt the spread? I got DQ'd in Snooker once when I was running to a tunnel for my last colour (which also happened to be the first obstacle in the closing sequence) and Millie took the broad jump next to it by accident, but did it diagonally. As I hadn't planned on doing the broad as my last colour but the tunnel, after she did it wrong, I ran to the tunnel and did that, then started the closing sequence. Judge had to pull rule book out to see if she could pass us or not. Turns out had I just reattempted the broad then did the closing sequence, we would have been fine! D'oh! At least I know for next time.

Also, I know there are no refusals or anything when doing colours as long as you go back and correct it, but what about in the closing sequence? I am guessing you need to complete that correctly the first time?

Yep reattempted the spread correctly and got a card out of it in the end.

Sometimes the judges confuse themselves too. Delta was doing a snooker run recently and there was a combination obstacle for the 7 (tyre and weaves). She missed her weave entry and I put her back into them but the judge didn't score it as a 7. I was told I needed to go back and redo the tyre and then the weaves to get the 7 There were about half a dozen judges watching the run and they all said that it should have been scored, and in fact they would have DQed me if I redid the tyre. That particular judge just had a very different interpretation of the rules to most judges (or she had forgotten them as she hadn't judged snooker in a long time). Unfortunately I didn't get a Q out of it Shame as it was a beautiful run.

hmmm that'd def be a grey area, if the combo of the 2[tyre weave] was the number 7 then that judge obv decided that u had to do the whole thing again to get the 7 . interpretattion is a wondefully confusing thing lol , how would you even think to ask a judge that in the talk lol

hey OT I have been looking at flikr for a pic of ricki taken at the last adc trial and cxan't find it , have you loaded any pics lately ?

DeltaCharlie, that is a tough one! I would have just reattempted the weaves as well - since there are no refusals.

I'm just glad I'm not the only one who gets confused :laugh:
