Break Rules
There appears to be some confusion over the break and when the Ref should talk following a foul from the break.
The Ref does not need to talk during the match except when a foul occurs or to advise on touching/frozen balls.
From the break if the white goes in-off the referee should call Foul; ball in hand from baulk/behind the line.
From the break if the white goes off the table the referee should call Foul; ball in hand.
These are the IRO Refs calling procedures, which can be found here:
5. Foul break
CALL: Foul break, re-rack the balls and ask the incoming player whether they wish to break
or turnover the break to their opponent. Offer the cue ball to the incoming player.
6a. Cue ball potted (legal break)
CALL: Foul, ball in hand from baulk, retrieve and offer the cue ball to the incoming player.
6b. Cue ball leaves playing surface (legal break)
CALL: Foul, ball in hand, retrieve and offer the cue ball to the incoming player.
