I meant SIDE rail.

Oh, I would do that for sure. Back then before template racks. It was the best way to sneak the head ball into the side pocket. I learned to break that way playing 90-yr old at the senior center on their 9’ table. Made the head ball in the side every time.

I would think that most players that ever get anywhere near an 800 Fargo, were a 650 when they were 12 or 13.

If you make all 7 solids or stripes on the break they should just stop the tournament and declare you winner.

Where is the bracket

Sort of? But your eye can only focus at one distance at a time. You can either have a sharp target and a fuzzy sight, or the reverse. I was trained to have a sharp sight picture and a fuzzy target, and then trust your mechanics.

Trades?

Why aren’t they breaking like Shane taught the world then, and making 2-4 balls on the break like he was, even with the wood rack in TAR 1?

Less risk (especially with hand racking). If you break from center and don't make a ball the odds are good you leave a wide open table for your opponent. Breaking from the side (with intent to make the 1) leaves more congestion on the side you broke from.
If the center break is working, run with it.
If not...break from the side and trust you're better tactically.

I kinda agree but Yuma is only 150mi from San Diego and that casino/hotel looks pretty nice. Still, it is a tad remote compared to places they could go. I'd guess the tribe/casino made them a helluva deal on rooms.

It's over 170 miles from San Diego. Almost a 3 hour drive. Why would a player fly into San Diego then drive 3 hours? Waste of time and money.

Or you can be a man about it run the other 7 out.
