I think I have come up with a good idea about breaking rules to eliminate all the tireless "rack checking" to help speed games/matches up.
Whether using a triangle rack or a template, let the loser (of lag or previous game) rack the balls. Then, the breaker checks the rack and either accepts the rack as it is or passes it off to his/her opponent. The opponent has no option of giving it back.
Does this sound like a good or goofy idea to speed the games up (and btw, I am a proponent of shot clocks in rotation games)? Am I missing something obvious here or does it make any sense?
IMHO, I think it would make matches a lot more interesting with all the variables it would create (and possibly somewhat eliminate "wired balls").
