I'm a 9 so the 7 would be spotted 20 balls, and he can't win.
Well yeah, you're a 9 but you would be a 15 if it went that high...
I kid but that's the difference really. There isn't really much difference in skill between and 6, 7 or 8 in APA barbox 9ball. When it comes to being a 9 though you could get someone that either just became a 9 and could be overrated, or you could get someone that plays like a local shortstop.
