I want to see the look on Bustie’s face when he scores 60 points at rotation....

As the points on all 15 balls add up to 120, the first player to reach 61 points wins. This is similar to 9-ball, except that in 9-ball it only matters who makes the last ball, while in rotation it matters not who makes the last ball, but who makes the most points.

It is somewhat baffling:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotation_(pool)
Rotation, sometimes called rotation pool or 61, is a pocket billiards game, requiring a standard pool table, cue ball and triangular rack of fifteen pool balls, in which the lowest-numbered object ball on the table must be always struck by the cue ball first, to attempt to pocket (pot) numbered balls for points.[1] Rotation is somewhat similar to nine-ball, but its scoring system is based on points, si
 
That is weird....if a guy makes only half the points on me....and tells me he won....
...we got a problem.
Alex said with all the side betting going on in the Philippines they don't want a game to end in tie ever.

So they play 1st to 60 wins to eliminate that scenario

I think it's rare to have a tie. Not sure what balls would have to be made to get to 60 exactly lol

Many combinations come to 60...like...15-14-13-12-6
But playing lots of ‘61’ in my hometown...(never heard the term ‘rotation’) I have never
seen a tie game...if it ever happened, what’s the big deal?

All i know is 1st poster i made had 61 points is the winner.

Alex and Busty both saw it and they both said they play to 60 points in the Philippines

So i made a new poster with 60 on it :shrug:
