Justin Bergman vs Tom Cousins

The rules are quite different - enough to cost you if you don’t learn them. For example:

On a CB frozen to your own OB, you must shoot away from the OB (and you are deemed to have hit that ball). If the OB you are frozen to moves it’s a foul.

You can’t play a “dirty combo” on a open table (stripe into solid etc).

You have to be careful about nominating balls in various situations.

You can’t play a deliberate foul (eg pushing opponents balls together if you have no shot). It’s a loss of game. Same if you don’t make enough of an effort to hit your ball on a kick.

Loss of game if you grab the CB as it scratches (I believe Shane lost a game that way in the event he played).

There are others. My point isn’t that Shane can’t win with those rules, my point is that if he doesn’t learn them well enough it can cost him at key moments.

To prove this point, Bergman just failed to nominate stripes or solids (while frozen to a solid after the break) in the finals against Hatch. He’s played a lot of these events and still didn’t know that rule. It could have cost him the match.
