How do you guys keep score in 14.1? I ask because I played in a 14.1 tournament here recently and the scoring system and scoresheets were very contrived and everything had its own box where you had to mark, balls, made, innings, fouls, safeties, etc. The opponents were constantly watching and checking off balls as they were being made, which seemed like a waste of energy to me.
I'm not much of a straight pool player, but when I played back home, I used a scoring system where you just record the number of balls on the table everytime a player's turn ends. Then simply subtract the number of balls on the table at the beginning of the run from the number left when they are done (add 14 to the number everytime there is a re-rack). It's simple and no need to count during the games.
I've seen other ways to do it as well, so I'm just wondering how you all keep score and if you use scoresheets, I would appreciate if you could post those as well.
Thanks,
Vic
