Please, please, please don't ever poop in you pants while bending over to shoot a ball in.  This is very distracting to other players, and can degrade the quality of the equipment if some gets on the felt or smeared on the house's cues.  I have been guilty of this twice in the past, but I have since learned how rude this is.  Thanks, and enjoy the game...  Pretty Girl

This would probably be my number one pet-peeve. When your turn is done at the table please do not grab the chalk and start chalking your cue. It's not your turn. You will have plenty of time to chalk your cue the next time you get a turn at the table...

Give a tight rack. Nothing says you have "no class" like loose racking to gain an unfair advantage.

this one is easy  do not walk in front of someone when they are in stroke  it is not good it is very disrespectful very  so please if you can do not walk in front of a persons line of shot thanks

A match was played during the World Series in the Boston Area and the Red Sox were winning.  Boston Billiards has many large and small televisions.  Besides the regular league players the place was filled and rocking.  As one started to stroke the crowd would go wild.  This was perfectly understandable and the match was played under these extreme conditions.  My opponent experienced the same disruptions.  We both had to grin and bear it.

However, loud shouting during a league match is disruptive to all of the players in the vicinity.  Cheer on your partners, but be respectful of your opponents and surrounding teams.

When there is only one mechanical bridge available, place it diagonally under the table so it can be reached from any side.

This thoughtful advice I first heard from George Tanner during one of our eight ball sessions when he was about 94.

Never start unscrewing your cue until the game is officially over. Doing so just makes you look like a sore loser. It can also, under certain rules, mean that you've already forfeited the match, therefore letting your opponent win before the match is over (when there's possibility that he may have messed up a shot and given you the victory).

Never sit on the table rails, it can cause them to fall off.
