GENERAL The
striker must position the balls and play his strokes with reasonable
despatch. The adversary should anticipate as far as possible with which
ball he will play next so that he may waste no time in approaching it
at the start of his turn.
HANDICAP
PLAY In handicap play, the striker must indicate promptly at the
end of his turn whether or not he intends to play a half-bisque or
bisque.
DOUBLES
PLAY In doubles play, time must not be wasted in prolonged discussion
or instruction.
WIRING
TEST See Law 13(e)(1) for restrictions
on testing if a ball is wired.
