The foot spot is a point not an area -- the intersection of the
long string and the foot string. The use of a paper/cloth spot
marker is forbidden by some rules, and is not mentioned in the
pool rules. A spot marker is useful on commercial tables that
get a lot of wear, but for a tournament it is better if possible
not to use one. For 14.1 and one pocket there is no reason to
have one. The spot should be marked with pencil or some such.
