When using a wooden rack, we determine whether a break ball is in the "rack zone" by whether the rack will interfere with the ball, and if so, it gets spotted up table.

When using a template rack, which obviously has no width outside the 14 balls racked, is a break ball considered in the rack zone if it is inside where the wooden rack WOULD be if using one, or is it left in place if none of the balls placed in the template interfere with the break ball?

For example, in this layout, the break ball is outside the 14 balls, but would be spotted if a wooden rack is used.

If I were to have drawn an outline of the rack, the 6 would be inside the lines.
