I finally finished with redoing the FrankenCrown I found. Mismatched rails, different size pedistals, no adjustable feet and bad cusions. With all of that plus stripping and finishing, I think it turned out really nice. Plays great. Oh, forgot to mention the mounting blocks for the aprins were all missing also. Lol.​

1970 9 ball rules

I grew up playing two shot shootout. More or less what Maha posted, but in New York, we spotted everything that went in illegally. If you made four balls on the break and scratched, all four of them would spot, at least on the nine footers.

In most cases, the pros switched to Texas Express in 1983, and when the pros switched, so did I, but in the world of action, shootout was still around for about five more years. I never saw it played after 1990.

In Washington the only balls that were spotted after a scratch were "2 before the money". So if you scratched on the 6 ball it stayed down, and you had to put the cue ball behind the head spot and shoot at the 7 ball. If the 7 ball was behind the line it got spotted. And if you made the 7 or 8 ball and scratched it also got spotted. There was never ball in hand anywhere on the table, which put a premium on your ability to make spot shots.

I generally liked everything about the rule, except that in some areas when after a scratch on the break, ALL balls that fell got spotted, along with the 1 ball if it came to rest behind the head spot. This never seemed right to me, as it basically took the penalty out of the scratch whenever more than one ball was spotted. Of course the incoming player could then push out, rather than just whale at the balls lined up on the spot.

1970 9 ball rules

M
terrible rule book.

says if you cant hit the ball you can push out. you can push out anytime you want from anyplace you are.

and any two fouls in a row results in ball in hand. also called two foul ball in hand. which says it all.

only thing that never came up is if you have cue ball in hand behind the line, can you push out to a spot back wards without going forward first past the line.
