1.14 COACHING -
1.14 COACHING - The shooter may request a maximum of 1 coaching (max. 2 min.) from any one of the teammates at any time during a game. They must make sure, however, that the opposing player and designated person watching the table are aware that coaching has been requested. At no time during the game is the player doing the coaching to handle a cue stick or physically place the cue ball on the table. At any time during a game, the shooter may request clarification as to which group is their group of balls and the opposing player must advise them correctly. Coaching must not be offered or given unless requested and to do so constitutes a foul. A player may engage in conversation of any kind with teammates or others after completing each of their turns in any game while their opponent is shooting (this is not a foul).
NOTE: During Team Playoffs, coaching is limited to 1 minute, the presiding referee will give a 30 second and 15 second warning only!
