    Distracting the other player is never a foul, regardless of whether it was intentional or unintentional. I suggest you not get too picky with this stuff. It will take the fun out of the competition.

    Fouls are created "on the playing table usually by the shooter."

    To verify foul decisions, I suggest you find a copy of the rules on the game you are playing. Which, by the way, can be found right here on the Billiards Forum website under "Learn". Look on the green bar above where it says Billiard Rules.

    Obviously, if the answer to your question is not in the rule book, then the Billiards Forum is here to be of help. And stop sneezing.
