1970 9 ball rules

iusedtoberich
I want to run a "retro" 9 ball tournament with 1970-1990 rules. Pre Texas Express. Can I have some help? I didn't start until 1990's.

I want the "push out" rules. Can someone spell them out for me? Is it basically just like the modern push after the break, but at any time?

I'll have no jump and no break cues, since no one had them then.

The foul rules, when I started, I recall it was any pocketed balls on a break foul were spotted, and it was BIH behind the line. But I can't remember if a foul during the course of the game was BIH anywhere or behind the line, and if it mattered if a ball was pocketed on said foul.

Thanks.

Best GOAT moment of all time

For me in pool, got to be efren in 99 running 9 racks in the semis against bustamante, seeing that at the time was just incredible.
In snooker over the years, ronnie has so many moments but like double-dave said, taking a year off and winning it again, was amazing. His 147 is also up there.

Hearing Kaci do 8 b&r in ten ball was quite a feat.
But 37 banks.... in a row. come on....

''Kicking Out''.... Your Forward Foot

Island Drive
At times you'll see Kaci/Gorst stand back, ready to walk up and their heals are nearly together.
Right foot around 2 o'clock left foot around 10 o'clock.
The tall guys kick out Allot more than those that belly up.
You'll at times see Filler in sync, and use this manner.... having his distance from the table already figured out before ''down & done''.
It's why I dislike most productions.... because the viewer is unable to see the players routine walk up and foot work.
