I've been working on the first round section and still have para 3 to finish off. Maguire's double-fluke shot is confusing me a bit because I think we're using the wrong naming convention for the pockets.

"He attempted to pot a red ball into the bottom right pocket" — I think this should be the top right pocket because according to the cueglossary, the end where the reds are racked is called the "top" of the table, even though it appears at the bottom of the screen when viewing on TV, hence the confusion, but I've always understood it to be the "top". The "bottom" of the table is the baulk end, so the cue ball ended up in the bottom right pocket after rolling down the table (although I acknowledge that the commentator said "up the table").

Indeed, both should be swapped. It's difficult, because from a viewer, it seems like the wrong way around. It's been very clear for years which end is the "bottom", and which is the "top". Can we find a second source that actually describes the shot? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 08:25, 13 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Lee. Most reliable sources just show the video but I found a couple that include a description: Yahoo Sport UK & The42.ie Are either of these any good? Rodney Baggins (talk) 10:23, 13 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
