Has anyone been successful with this 2 rail bank? How did you do it?

That was crazy...I don't think anyone at the table realized that she pocketed the 8ball out of turn, not even Jasmine. I am not sure that fixing that after the next game was correct. If it was any other foul, after the next shot was played, it would not have been fixed...The more I think about it, that was the wrong thing to do. They should not have changed the score.

So the nose height is slightly different between the Artemis and a Superspeed? So that must mean a K55 can vary in nose height depending on the manufacturer, I always thought that all K55's were the same. Or is it that the Artemis IC K66 is not an exact copy of a K55, and why would Artemis flop the 55 and 66 numbers around after putting "Intercontinental" before it?? Its all very confusing.

...........................................
Artemis Intercontinental K-66 and Brunswick Superspeed cushions are designed to achieve the same standard nose height of 1 7/16" (approximately 1.44 inches) for tables using 2 1/4" balls.

However, there are key differences in their profile geometry and installation requirements:

• Profile Geometry: The Artemis Intercontinental K-66 (also known as K55 profile by Artemis) measures 1 1/4" across the top and 1 5/16" high at the back glue side. In contrast, the Brunswick Superspeed is a specific K55 profile variant. Older pre-1975 Brunswick K55 cushions had a different top measurement (1 1/8"), but modern Superspeeds align with the current K55 standard.
• Mounting Height Nuance: When installed on the same sub-rail, Championship K55 cushions (a direct competitor to Superspeed) sit nearly 1/16" lower in nose height than Superspeed cushions. While Superspeeds are often praised for a "springy" feel, some users note that lower nose heights (like those from K55 profiles) can help prevent balls from "hopping" on rebound, especially as cloth wears.
• Compatibility Warning: Installing K-66 profile cushions (standard for non-Brunswick tables) on a standard Brunswick rail (designed for K55) will result in the nose being 1/16" too high, making the table play "slow as mud." Conversely, Brunswick tables typically require K55 profile cushions to maintain the correct 1 7/16" nose height without sub-rail modification.

For optimal playability, ensure the cushion profile matches your table's rail specifications (K55 for Brunswick, K66 for most others) to maintain the correct 1 3/8" to 1 7/16" nose height range.

Well, do they do that by license plate? Do rentals count? Or is it just for guests at the hotel?

No, looks like a local's summer room rate and they do it by ID:

Interesting thought, similar to SBC's. You don't think the 9 is blocking that bank?

I'm pretty sure the 9 is blocking that bank. I'd guess that you have to hit within two balls of the upper right pocket to make the two-rail, and the 9 looks like slightly more than two from the cushion. The first rail is going to put the wrong (left) spin on the ball.

I'd like to double-bank the 8 to win this game. I know it's a moonshot, but there aren't a lot of other options. How would you go about trying it? ...

Whether it can be made or not depends a lot on the table. On many tables you will never get the correct angle off the second rail. Maybe your table is one of those.

Mark the balls very carefully and repeat the shot. Try nothing, left, and right. I think the best speed is just a little harder than to get the ball to the pocket. Shoot with each option until you get the cue ball to land within half a ball of the 15 on the second rail. If none of those work
