Anyone know when they began racking the 2b at the rear at this event?
Also, any idea on why Kaci didn't play?

You are correct sir. I had a senior moment! Not the first. Unfortunately not likely to be the last. Someone float me out on a chunk of ice!

... Anyone know when they began racking the 2b at the rear at this event? ...
I'd bet a lot of money that the average teacher makes more than the average pro pool player.
By "this event" I imagine you mean to include the US Open 9-Ball Championship as well.
My stats threads back through 2011 all indicate that the 2-ball had to be racked in back. How far back that requirement goes beyond 2011 I do not know.
Given what the players now know about breaking the 9-ball rack with the 9-ball on the foot spot, I think always racking the 2-ball in back is a bad idea.
2 ball behind the rack is good. It is hardest spot to control if you make the 1-ball. Many times it will double kiss to end
a number of the players were making the one ball and controlling the 2 ball very well getting it to go 3 rails and land very close to the side pocket opposite the side they broke from.
Most pro pool players in US will either work until they die after their game is gone at Walmart or end up drawing some type of income-based assistance.
Pro pool players don't make enough to save enough.
Only the top few will live comfortable and some of them won't if they didn't invest wisely. The rest below them, well, it dosen't matter cause they didn't make enough to invest and still pay their current living expenses.
When it comes to compensation, our sport sucks.

The sport sucks because other than a very few even consider it a sport and it has little entertainment value to the general public , call me one of them , even if you do consider it one it's well down the list behind NFL , NBA , MLB , PGA ,NHL for starters , then you got things that transcend to hobbies , Auto Motorcycle racing , Fishing , and to your back yard cookout, corn hole ,,
There is only so much money to go around from the big sponsors its clear they are not interested, however it's trending up and if gambling becomes a part of it here that will bring in more sponsorship, something I believe Match Room is betting on ,
That will never bring it to the other sports levels but it will certainly be a big improvement

I caught on to that after the third time in a row that Lechner had a simple shot to the side on the 2 ball. Once he was stuck for a shot after the break because the 2 fell in the side on three rails.... a number of the players were making the one ball and controlling the 2 ball very well getting it to go 3 rails and land very close to the side pocket opposite the side they broke from.

The 2 racked in back seems to be a problem but what is the solution?

I agree.
Make a way for gambling to be out in open and it will help.
