Shoot out preferences

[Monti]

I’m doing a tournament this weekend which will have a predator style shootout.
Wonder what everyone’s preference is when playing that shot, follow with a touch of outside, stun, draw etc?
If anyone smarter that me wants to make it a poll, I’d appreciate it!

for me its a stupid idea. and the best spot shot shooter will have a huge advantage. and be boring.

so whatever you use for spot shots in general you should do. i do outside draw.
and change to what works best for you as they move the ball around.

Thanks I agree it’s a stupid idea but less so for this local tournament, as in a bar setting it could make for some fun drama and we aren’t pros

I would avoid a center ball, I'd hit a bit up or down. Center ball gets too close to the pocket for me.

Pretty sure table size and cloth wear change the algorithm

I do not want to get in a shoot out with any body at any time or place !

Not crazy about shootouts as tie breakers. It's like gamblers got tired of the pool and want to settle the cash right now. "I'll flipya for it." or buyouts (instead of backs)...

Spot shots belong in a preliminary stage - "WTF is that???" along with banks/combos/caroms dadada...

OK it's about the time. Play Horse. Sudden death. IOW ist blown shot - fini.
