In my country Argentina i spectate master in national tournaments of 8 9 10 ball..we have a national federation of billiards..i also set for tournaments in a less category.
What i see is that there is no master who know rail system. When the opponent execute and the cue ball is covered..but a 2 or 1 rail is possible they touch the objective ball but is impossible for them to pocket it.
My question is.. in international level or international tournaments: rail system is essential or you must know it.
On the other hand..pool is not only direct shoot..yo need to know how to do one or two rails shoot..is right?
