Provide info on table make, pocket size, cloth, table condition.
1) balls must be racked with a triangle, 1 ball on the foot spot.
2)balls racked 1, then 2,3, then 4,10,5, then 6,7,8,9 in that order.
3) break, add up bonus points, 1 point for any pocketed balls, 1 point for each ball past the side pockets, up to 4 bonus points, if the 10 is pocketed on the break, it still counts, but respots.
4) a scratch or cue ball off the table is a no count, but the inning still gets counted.
5) play begins where the cue ball lays after the break, and all balls pocketed then are added up at 1 point per ball. A miss ends the inning. Any balls pocketed on a scratch are not counted, and any 10 ball pocketed legally shall count as the end of the inning, and count as a full rack run, and count all the remaining balls on the table for a run maximum of 10 points.
6) 10 innings are required to finish the test. The maximum possible points is 150, which would require pocketing the 10 ball on the break in all 10 racks.
7) jump cues are not allowed during the test.
Does anyone want to help establish some kind of idea what skills are needed to kind of get some idea what test scoring would look like? Maybe we can build a running list of player ranking based on the test score results.
