I pattern rack every time I give up weight...
...and the guy getting weight pattern racks too.
Quite a few of the better players pattern rack (cheat) whilst on live streamed tables.
It is so easy for people to notice it.
And why is nothing done about it.
.....that's my rant for the day over
Which tourney are you referring to? Which rules are they playing by that specifically prohibit pattern racking?

The Kremin Cup format for racking is to keep the rack as random as possible, this agreed on by the players, Mika came out and said this during the Corey Duel match.I remember when I was like 11 or 12 and Mike Segal cam out with his tape " Perfect 9 Ball ". On there he said to put the 3 behind the 1 in one of the two spots and the 2 in the bottom of the rack, supposedly when opponent breaks the 3 goes up table and the 2 down table making it harder to get from one to the other and therefore making it harder for them to run out. That's about the extent of my " pattern racking " lol.

It's a bad rule IMO. If it's too vague to be enforced, it shouldn't be a rule. Specify where some some balls need to go and let the players put the rest wherever they please. Telling people they have to randomly puttee balls in the rack is unenforceable.
