In many, many other sports and other games you get to see how everyone performs.
Like in darts both players throw 3 darts alternating turns and one person may win by 1 dart but you see if both are masters.
Or golf everyone plays all holes but best score wins and you see how everyone performs
Bowling both players...... etc.
But I watched many a tournament where its a race to 7 one player calls heads losses and never touches the table.
or straight pool where one players runs 125 and you never see the other player shoot
I personally like the idea of that bowling billiard game...where you break 10 balls and run... if you run all 10 its a strike. If you run 6 miss then run the other 4 you get a spare and so on... you keep score like bowling
ALTERNATING TURNS till the game is over.
When the game is over you get to see how BOTH players shot and their scores
Not one billiard master and his opponent the chair warmer
I'd rather see 2 billiard masters perform
And another plus to this game is you can play the best overall score wins which means you play 3 games of 10 frames each and your done get an average and post it against the ENTIRE FIELD....NO BAD DRAWS..OR EASY DRAWS...no playing 2 and out while someone else plays ALL DAY...every body plays the same amount and the BEST PLAYER WINS PERIOD
Also for Amateur bowling billiard tourney's balls could be pocketed in any order (much easier)
For the Pros it can be played like 10 ball in numerical order (much harder)
Who knows might even be a better format for television and bring some life and money to our sport
