Reg Bamford & the shot that never was - World GC Championships '11
SCENARIO - You are playing in the Quarter Finals of the World Croquet Championships 2011 at Hurlingham.
You have to make a JUMP shot over your opponent's ball in hoop 11 from a distance of approx six metres. The ball ran the hoop CORRECTLY but whne the referee was called to make a "JUDGEMENT" of the shot, it was deemed a fault due to damage of the lawn.
The shot was subsequently shown to be "clean".
The following four videos show the SHOT, the JUDGEMENT and the ANALYSIS.
Reg Bamford plays The Jump - a bomb shot over the opponent's ball in the jaws - to win Hoop 11 in his World Championship Quarter Final, only for the shot to be sensationally and controversially (and as it is shown afterwards, incorrectly) faulted by Abdul Ahmad, the referee.
The Judgment - The referee, Abdul Ahmad, sensationally and controversially rules that Reg Bamford's Jump Shot was a fault - that the damage on the lawn MUST have been caused by the mallet and not solely by the ball. The Referee of the Tournament, Bill Arliss, is called and he confirms the ruling. The shot is subsequently shown to be clean by video analysis.
The Analysis - Reg Bamford demonstrates the Jump Shot to some fellow experts (Paddy, Keith, James, Evan) and shows how the hard Bomb causes damage to the lawn through the ball. There is NO mallet contact with the lawn. The damage appears far worse than the indentation that prompted Abdul Ahmad to fault the jump shot.
