In the quarterfinals of the just-concluded Players Championship, O'Sullivan was swept out of the tournament by Mark Selby 6-0. This is O'Sullivan's second time in a best-of-11 match. Has O'Sullivan's form declined? Is Mark Selby in his prime? Neither! The real reason was that in the first game, O'Sullivan solved the ball. O'Sullivan failed the first time to solve the ball, failed again the second time, and failed the third time. At this time, the beautiful referee Bowa told O'Sullivan that he had to clear the ball three times in a row, but according to the rules of the game, he did not clear the ball and would be punished for loss. At this time, O'Sullivan had just woken up from his dream! However, as a beautiful referee Pova who has been enforcing the law in the ** gram arena for many years, according to the regulations, she should remind O'Sullivan before O'Sullivan's third clearance. However, the beautiful referee Bova did not remind O'Sullivan. Maybe the beauty referee Bohua thought O'Sullivan should know, so she didn't remind her. Fortunately, it was brought up at this time. O'Sullivan's opponent, Mark Selby, can also be called a generous gentleman and did not have an argument with the referee or O'Sullivan. Let O'Sullivan clear the siege again. But for a hot-tempered man like O'Sullivan, it's not a shame. When did O'Sullivan encounter such a scene?

But in this case, the beautiful referee Beauva, who is in charge of law enforcement, should be the party that bears the main responsibility. No matter what the situation, as a law enforcement referee, when O'Sullivan releases the ball for the third time, he must remind O'Sullivan in advance that this is your law enforcement. Duties of the referee. But as a veteran O'Sullivan, how could he not know the rule that if he fails to clear the ball three times after seeing the target ball, he will be judged to lose? O'Sullivan, aren't you kidding?
The referees are very detailed!
