Hello,
I had a discussion recently during a tournament (not sanctioned, so kind of theoretical) about the "black ace" rules. The main question is whether the rule 811.F.2: "Wrong target" applies to black aces or not (and consequently, if you should get a penalty stroke for a black ace)
Specifically, As I understand it, the 811.F.2 applies if the black ace is to a basket that is otherwise in play in the round, and does not apply if the basket is "not in play" and marked with a trashbag or smth.
That would be consistent with how it was played in Maricopa Open 2022 when Luke Samson had a black Ace ( see here for a clip https://youtube.com/clip/Ugkx2WaDxQfsJA0iiaDN52II-NBfn3hgsKS2 )
However, the other interpretation is that according to the rule 807.A Luke's play was finished to a wrong target and he should be additionally penalized according to 811.f.2.
Is there an official interpretation somewhere?
thanks in advance for any responses
