Hi all, I would like to share with fellow az members an interesting idea by former Greek 9ball Champion George Flemetakis regarding 9ball rules, personally i haven't seen something like this formulated before, any relative input along with comments on the format is welcomed.
So, here it is:
- Call each shot
- Call either ball or safety
- In case of safety incoming player has to play
- No safety allowed by calling a ball
- In all other cases (eg called ball in wrong pocket, ball pocketed after safety call) incoming player has the option to play or let the opponent play again
- In case of play again, opponent has the right to push out
- No jump shots allowed
- Dry break rule from middle of table, push out allowed after break
- Preferably in alternate break format, 9 ball on the spot, race to 13 frames, competition size pockets
So, here it is:
