Sounds a lot like FARGO (Flip and Run, Guts Offense), a practice game invented by MIke Page.

Smash break a full rack, take ball in hand (or not), and shoot any ball (like straight pool) until you get to a point where you think you can run the rest in rotation - then try that. I think you get 1 point for each "random" ball and 2 points for each rotation ball.

The rules were posted here years ago. (The "flip" part refers to putting a coin on the rail and flipping it over when you start the rotation phase.)

I am sorry. I was not questioning you or directing anything toward you. I was trying to point out that an evaluation of pool -- then and now -- should also consider how much fun was had by mere mortals -- bangers -- and what magic places pool rooms used to be.

Good Lord. You waited 5 years to respond to an apparent dig, when you clearly said "I don’t pay attention very long to insignificant things"? You need to let go my Friend. Brian.

Mister, I haven’t been to NPR in a long time….I really have no idea whom you are or what you stand for
and personally speaking, I don’t give a _hit what you think, believe or post anywhere or anytime. I hope
that is clear enough. You never impressed me on NPR or I’d recall something, anything you posted. In
other words, I don’t pay attention very long to insignificant things, events, people or their opinions on Az.
But I don’t back down on anything, you’ll always know where I stand and I’ll still admit if & when I’m wrong.
