Navel withdrawal is not making every effort to avoid interference. Interference occurs when the striker hits the ball back close to their body. The Referee's decision must take into account the ability of the new striker to make a good return, or perhaps a winning return, or whether he woulde have clearly struck the striker with the ball going directlty to the front wall.

The lack of sight of the ball travelling past a player does not constitute a lack of fair view when the player is not in a position to strike the ball at the point of interference.

A player who loses sight of the ball, due to his own poor positioning, mostly caused by the playing of a poor shot, is not allowed a let.
