At a meeting of the General Council of the B.C.C. the following alteration in Rule 9 of billiards as played under the code was made. It now reads as follows:—
"A player may not make two misses in successive innings unless he or his opponent scores after the first miss, or a double-baulk occurs. Any miss given when the striker is in hand and there is no object ball out of baulk does not count as one of the two misses which constitute a foul stroke."
