I’m wondering why the player who plays out of order get penalized in extra ball situations and not the player who earned the extra ball.
Here is the scenario, I’m player 1 and I earn an extra ball. I finish my first ball, then walk away, maybe even making a comment to player 2 like “good luck” or “that was a tough drain”. Player 2 steps up and plays without noticing that I earned an extra ball. Player 2 is now disqualified. I get that player 2 should have checked before plunging, but really player 1 is more at fault. Player 1 walked away and should have known they still needed to plunge out the next ball. They are the one that earned the extra ball in the first place. Player 2 might not have even been in the area and was told it’s his turn. I could even see less honest people “forgetting” they had an extra ball just to get the DQ.
