It seemed like they were playing cue ball fouls only yesterday on the Bigtruck stream. I don't get it.

Buffalo has their "own " house rules - different from most.
If you move two balls its a foul in all tournaments. If you move one ball the incoming player has the option to except the position or return it to the place he thinks it was in.I think US Open 1-Pocket is also cue ball only.

...since about the time people figured out that they can take a foul and shift the balls into a better position.

I don't follow... I've always played foul plus the incoming player has the option to move the ball back.
All tournament pool should be foul on all balls! JMHO of course. :wink:
If you move two balls, does your opponent still get the option to move the balls back?
I agree 100%. Too much of this going on.

I didn't know they ever started. one pocket has a different set of rules vs say nine ball, or straight pool. related to the nip and tuck of the game it would be almost impossible not to (touch) a ball. thus the incoming player can have the ball replaced as close to its original spot. now if you move two or more balls then a foul has been committed, which results in lost of inning plus a penalty ball must be paid or owe if you cant afford it. the incoming player has ball in position.

The inherent problem with this in a One Pocket tournament is what happens when you are spotting a ball.
two or more is just fine for One Pocket IMO.
I've spent a lot of time mulling over the idea of a cell phone app that scans the rack for gaps and alignment and perhaps provides information on how the gaps present are believed to affect how the balls will spread... It could also be used for accurate ball spotting.
