Under 6.7.3 there's a chart, I don't quite understand the "15th ball lies not behind Head String, and not in the Rack" What does that mean? From what I understand, that means the 15th ball is not in the rack, and not in the kitchen. If so, that's what, roughly 70% of the table?
Edit: Also, can someone explain this "A player may call a safety rather than an object ball (for defensive purposes). Safety play is legal, but must comply with all applicable rules." Is it like a push from 9ball?
