Maybe they should play 9-ball with a 10-ball rack to start out, with the 9 in the middle.

Afer the break, the 10 ball is removed from the table.

would the premise be that the 10-ball break is more difficult for the pros?

don't know what it's called in the US, but here we play a version called 5–9. basically the 5b is worth 1 point and the 9b is worth 2 points. they re-spot if made early. you race to a number of points rather than a number of racks. do you have that?

depending on race length it can be faster than regular 9b.

They worried about gambling when 90% of the pool population were slowing killing themselves and everyone around them with the cigarettes.
The no gambling signs - pool’s attempt to keep cops out and convey some sense of a decent place to visit as far as general and governing society was concerned.

Really? I imagine the bar box league types might like it, it should only take them 2 or 3 innings to get out.

Granted some people carry a 100 buck tab nightly and would gladly pay for the thrill and no other gain. OTOH any kind of player with the standup to give it a shot would absorb the experience real or imagined and be thusly enriched.

He probably learned it from Efren.
