Questions About Free Ball Situations

Hi Eddie from Derby

I have a couple of questions that I have puzzled over for years. Asking other players, team mates etc, has only led to further confusion. Could you please enlighten me on the following.

  1. Player A has potted white. Player B places cue ball in D but: can only see one side of ball on from yellow spot and the other side of ball on from green spot. However, he cannot see both sides of the ball on, at the same time, from any location within the D. is this, or is it not, a free ball situation?

  2. Frame is down to the colours; Brown, Blue and Pink are on their own spots. Yellow, the ball on, is on the Black spot. (Green is knocking about somewhere). Player A has just made a foul shot and snookered player B behind the Green. Player B is awarded a free ball, he nominates Brown. He stuns white onto Brown spot, effectively snookering player A. I understand that if the Brown were to stop between the cue ball and the Blue it would be deemed a foul shot, can't snooker behind nominated ball and all that. However, what if the white were to stop between the Blue and the Pink, or between the Pink and the Yellow, would that still be deemed a foul shot as it is in a direct line between the cue ball and the ball on?

This question relates to the following billiard rules:
