Ball hits debris on the table
Rules
Tim Challener Asked 6 years ago
During play if a ball hits some unseen debris on the table and bounces strangely should the point be replayed or does the point stand? If replayed who must declare the bounce unfair: both players and/or umpire?

Hi Tim,
This is the umpires call. Usually they will let it go and the point will stand. Hard to show that the ball did hit the debris on the table.
