I lost! hahaha.

The game changed to called shot 10 ball, magic rack, on a 9' with pro-cut pockets. Race to 15. I get 2 on the wire. My 500 to his 400. He came up with it. He had a very bad couple of days and just wanted a really long and expensive race to take his mind off it, and knew I'd be up for it. Everything seemed even more in my favor than the original proposal.

I ended up losing with a final score of him 15 me 13. My 2 games were spotted at the start, so I actually earned 11 games.

It was a strange set. I was actually playing well. I had a lot of good runs of balls on the tough table. But I'd miss at the wrong time. I was leading most of the set, and was up 11-7, then he came back from there and caught me at 12-12. The last 3 games were funny, he had a 1-10 combo on each one. I'd estimate I made 60% of the balls to his 40%.

When I was up 11-7, I said to myself "I better let him win a game". I didn't actually do that, but I wonder if my subconscious did. Lesson learned is to never let up, even with a big lead.

Anyway, he got some fuel in his emotional tank, and we will do battle again, I'm sure

shoot out is the same as now on the break. it was simply any two fouls in a row is ball in hand. any where. doesnt have to be by the same player.

so after any foul the other guy can shoot or make you shoot. you dont have to call push out. as a foul is a foul.

scratch in the pocket cue ball behind the line. if object ball behind line also it gets spotted. some played go down if behind the line.
some play all balls spotted. or no balls spotted

scratch on the break some play all stay down some say spot all balls. area dependent. most say stay down.

winner has choice of who breaks. one object ball must hit a rail for a legal break. so a safe break is allowed.

object ball off table just gets spotted like it never happened. cueball off, behind the line loss of turn.

no double hit if you elevate your cue 45 degrees. no push shots through the pack. must elevate if frozen or shoot away from object ball.

cue ball fouls only. and put object balls back where they were decided fairly by opponent. no matter how many moved.

opponent will stand over shot if close hit. just as gambling now in a pool room.
no crybaby shit about sharking.

no stupid rules like loss if you start to unscrew your cue.
