2)
Once everyone has mastered 3" pool pockets, a division of full rack games played to the last ball for total ball count.
In Banks, 9, 10, 15 points per rack - All the way out regardless of rack size;
In One Pocket, 15 points per rack - Same thing ALL the way out.
In 15 ball rotation, 15 points per rack, all the way out. Last ball determines successive breaks.

3)
Timed matches. 1 to 2hr sets.
Total points count for advancement and regression and elimination. This is to curb clock riding.

That's to show an event. What about the hapless commercial watching public that needs to jump in?

That's to show an event.....that's what I'm talking about, of course corn hole and pickle ball are far more entertaining......

And people keep asking for tighter and tighter pockets. Modern pool has turned into safety-filled 'cinch' pool drudgery. Without refs/clocks its virtually un-watchable. It has ZERO flow that pool had back in the CamelTour days.

Couldn't agree more, it is harder to play on tighter pockets, there are far less chances to cheat the pocket so a Pro who is earning a living would be stupid not to play the safety instead of playing a hard shot, its not just the size of the pockets but the angle of the face as well, I would like to see matches where you have to really make a decision whether to take the shot or play safe, it would make safety play more difficult and risk taking on shots more acceptable, I think it is one of the biggest differences from the days when Strickland, Archer, McCready and many others would chance the difficult shot instead of playing safe, there is no real option in today's game.

Monkey playing pool is too easy.

ESPN does need to provide anything needed for a pool tournament, just show up and film it or show a live feed, I would bet most tournament directors would love the publicity.....I could be wrong.....
