IMHO, the CB should break from the headspot when using a template rack (one on the footspot). Other racked balls are supposed to be random. If you suspect your opponent of intentionally manipulating the order, you should be allowed to insist on re-racking until satisfied otherwise (?). Of course, some might abuse that privilege, attempting a favorable order eventually. The only solution would be a rule change, setting the order of every ball (or at least the 2). Also, shouldn’t using a template eliminate the need to closely inspect the rack (?).
