I thought there was a rule that the player had to remove the rest after
using it, not the referee.  Was there ever such a rule?

AFAIK, I believe the referee is not allowed to take the rest off the table.
It is the player who takes the rest off the table, hands it to the referee
who puts it away.

The reasoning behind this would be that if anyone makes a foul with the
rest, it would automatically be the player who makes the foul, not the
referee.

I'm not entirely sure, but I'll ask a friend of mine - he's a referee, so
surely he'll know for sure.

Best regards,

Ikke

That's what I thought, but watching the World Championship on the telly
I have seen the referee remove the rest on a number of occasions.

if the ref removes the rest, he/she is contravening the rules and leaving
themselves open to ridicule when something goes amiss.
Myself, as a qualified referee, never takes any equipment of the table,
1. because of the above and
2. I don't like lazy players :)

Let us get this into perspective:

If there is any doubt about the striker being potentially able to
commit a foul whilst the rest is on the table the referee will not
intervene. But if there is no obvilous or potential foul situation, it
is probably ok for the referee to remove the rest in the interests of
the flow of play. Referees are taught to remove and reset the rest
from players in the course of play when there is no likelihood of the
striker making a foul. This allows the game to flow freely e.g. when
the striker has potted a red the reeree will normally take the rest as
this allows the striker to determine which colour he wishes to hit,
but if the striker uses the rest to pot a coloour, the referee will
leave the rest to the player and respot the colour as this will
asssist the flow of the play.

The referee, if properly trained will never prevent the striker from
making a foul but will assist the  flow of play in any frame.

I hope this makes the situation clear, for clarity I am a referee
examiner and therefore have some insight into referee training.
